Is there anyone looking for any and all old open end wrenches.

There was a half dozen or so along with this stuff on craigslist. (In a different box, not in the picture.)

Stupid me, I didn't take any pics of them. :twak:

They were open end on both ends, average size, very thick rounded body, almost no markings (a single leter or small symbol), no plating but a beautiful patina, little to no sign of much use.

Anyway, they are asking $5 each. I would pass them on for cost.
I don't know what the market is like. Are people tripping over these things or is it something anyone would gamble on sight unseen.

I know there are some people here that will buy anything old and rusty. But $5/ea is too pricy unless they are big sizes, or something oddball or interesting.

Need details. Most are common as dirt and a few are worth something to collectors.

I collect the oldest I can find and the smithy made stuff. But no way I pay much for any of them. No need to sink money into unusable tools in large quantity.
