That is too cool. The retro packaging is what I find interesting.

 

[BuickFarmer]

I'm just curious. Why do y'all think they broke the set into 6 pt for the smaller size sockets and 12 point for the larger size.

 

[wrenchr]

Most companies did that back then, why I have no idea!

 

[trackwelder]

Will sell this set and the 1/4" sk set also listed for $75.00 shipped.

Price reduced $40 shipped..

If nobody jumps on it by Friday I'll buy it...it can keep my 70's era 3/8 set company in the rolling cabinet.

I must confess that I'm puzzled by the lack of response to this set...just the Wood Brothers lid liner makes it too cool! If this is from the 70's, a lot of companies had switched to blow molded cases...when did S-K?

 

[trackwelder]

Still have this set $35.00 shipped

I bought this same set about 1984 or so and it exactly the same in every way as the one shown so the change to plastic boxes happened at some point after that.

Box says $19.75 I want it for that price, its false advertising.

OK Lets say its a 1984 tools, Whats $19.75 worth in 2009 dollars?
Anybody have a guess? Bet its more than $35.00.

Well, SK is still around, but they haven't been SK-Wayne for about 40 years!

look again guys, sk dresser. someone in the know should be able to age that real close. my bet early to mid 70's. a 94512 wich has a 3" rather than 1.5" is still available. pretty sure it is not $19.75 either. i may be interested pm me.

 

[trackwelder]

My guess is thats its from the late 70's. Price is $35.00 shipped
and going to fleabay next week with a bunch of other stuff.

SOLD!!!!!!!!
