Pricing help! Vintage X-acto

[cjvintage co.]

Hey there.
My grandfather recently passed away and im looking for some info on a few of his items.

He has a Vintage X-acto Knife Set, that i was considering selling.
Looking for any knowledge and maybe a value or price range to list it at?

See pics

I think it is:

- Circa 1940's ?
- The Whittler #80 knife set ?

Contains:
- 1 package of 5 blades in wax paper and folded <original, 4 never used, 1 broken end>
- 1 metal handle #6 knife w blade
- 1 wood block
- 1 printed ad. insert, folded
- 1 clear plastic slide top w clear emblem
- 1 wooden hinged box

Its not very big set, just enough room for items.
I cant find,any info on this set other than The Whittler #80 however, it isnt clear to me from the old ad. if it indeed did have a clear slide top?

Thanks in advance!

Might poke about here, then ask. Lots of good info on age. You probably won’t get enough to retire on, but it may cover a lunch.

Vintage X-Acto, Exactly, Exclusively!

I picked up this vintage X-Acto set at my flea market this morning.
