New Pawn Shop haul

[Jeremy77]

$5 today got me this. A local pawn shop is closing and claims that he's trying to move everything quick. He has a fair amount of good tools but was being really stubborn about selling individual pieces out of tool boxes or bags. Had a box of Snap On sockets and extensions, probably 20-25 pieces, for $40 but wanted to sell it all together. If it's still there tomorrow I might pick it up. The 1/2 in. extension at the top has a -V- marking but isn't stamped "Made in U.S.A.". I thought the -V- mark was pre-Chinese but I might be wrong. Does anyone know It's U.S. made or did I pick up an "import"? The two wrenches between the Craftsmans are a U.S. Blue Point 1/2 and a Proto Challenger 7/16.

I, too, thought the -V- mark was pre-china.
Nice group for $5, though!

Nice haul! Post it in the garage sale thread too!

Yeah, I figure the Proto 12" crescent alone was a good deal for 5 bucks. All the other was just a bonus.
