Blue point WXD series wrenches

[Marco84]

Hi all

I have been offered the chance to purchase two Blue Point WXD series wrenches. These were only produced in 1939 and I am looking for guidance as to what I should expect to pay for these?

Pictures? I do not know the value of those specific wrenches, but I know others would want to know the size, condition, etc.

Thanks kunkernator. I will try and get some pics uploaded. Wrenches are WXD910 and 1011 and look to be in excellent unused condition.

They are whitworth. Were made for much more than one year.

Thanks snapmom. I had read on the collecting snap on website that they were only manufactured in '39. Do you have an idea of value?

snapmom here is the link to the info regarding the year of manufacture stated as 1939 http://www.collectingsnapon.com/index.php?page=wrenches/XD Series

Maybe $30....Whitworth wrenches have limited use...for comparison, EBay has a listing for a single WXD wrench for a $5 opening bid, NR, with 0 bidders in 3 days.

FWIW, I'm not a collector per se, but I'm after a few US made BP wrenches to complete collections, and I watch BP listings daily...

Thanks for your help cookefab. Snap On attracts a premium here in the UK even older tools listed on eBay. There are some of the same wrenches currently listed on eBay for £50.00 ($75) each buy it now.
