Ok, I’m trying to find out what a snap on 1961 3/16 FS-18- A 3/8 drive 6 point shallow swivel socket is worth. I just cannot seem to find one to compare as far as it’s worth. I would also appreciate if anyone could give me some sites that tells you about vintage snap on tools. I’m just started not long ago to collecting vintage snap on and I do need to know the value for insurance reasons. I would appreciate any information that will help

We have a vintage Snap-on thread right here on GJ filled with examples, information, and discussion. There's a link to it in the A-Z Index in the Sticky at the top of this forum. The collectingsnapon.com website, including forum, is back online after a brief downtime. And Alloy Artifacts has some good info.

Most websites won’t tell you value of a collectible because they change, often, and sometimes rapidly. I have the Stanley collectors guide with values, and they are laughable now.
As noted in other threads, here is your site for IDing Snap-on tools.

Snap On Blue-Point A NATIONAL PERSONAL TOOL SERVICE CATALOGS WHO WE ARE-Let's Introduce My-self I inherited my grandfather’s Snap on and Blue Point tools. He worked at the Chevy plant in Kansas City in the 1940s and 50s. My original tools are from that period and they were basically something...

Are you sure that is a 3/16 flex socket more likely 9/16. 1962 catalog doesn't even show a 3/16 flex socket. Ebay sold listings show a bunch of fs18a but no idea of specific year they're widely available wouldn't expect any significant value maybe $10-$20 tops would be my guess.
