WTB: Craftsman circle-U 1/2"dr sockets

[kc-steve]

I'm looking for Craftsman circle-U with knurled band 1/2-drive sockets, 12-point. Sizes most desired are 3/8", 1/2", 9/16", 3/4", and 15/16". (see photo below) I might buy others if in excellent shape.

NEW REVISED LIST, February 14th, 2012
Circle U style
1/2" drive, 12point, 3/8", 9/16", 3/4", and 15/16"

Let me know what ya got and what ya want for 'em. Shipping choice depends upon how many ya got, in other words if ya only have one then I probably won't buy it.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve:
I have these items:
1/2" drive speeder-unsure as this might be cadimum plated? Works good
1/2" drive 3/4" eight pointer-very rough condition
3/8" drive sockets-12 pointers-sizes 1/2"-9/16"-5/8"-11/16-3/4-some surface rust internally-nice out side condition
Shipping is a bear due to size of speeder-would prefer a complete swap for all-no seperation. Looking for clean USA ratchet without owner's marks or????? PM me back if you are interested.........Cranky

Thanks for the offer Dan. I really hate to start another set to fill though. I just need the 1/2" drive stuff. In fact, Oldtoolman sold me 2 of the 1/2" but still looking for the rest.

NEW REVISED LIST
Circle U style
1/2" drive, 12point, 3/8", 9/16", 3/4", and 15/16"

Thanks Frank, your sockets look excellent, but like I said above, I am just looking for "Circle-U" style. They were only made a few years in the 1940s.

Still looking for the revised list of Circle-U style sockets noted in the first post.

Thanks,

need an extra 7/16?

[kc-steve]

Not really JS. If you had others I might take you up on it. Just the added cost of shipping makes it cost-prohibitive, I suspect.

Thanks,
Steve

I know for a fact there is an entire set for sale at a flea market I go to. from 1/2 to 3/4 anyways. If I make it up there im sure I can haggle the price for you but he was looking for $65.00. Ive seen them over a month ago AND just last week so they haven moved. I plan to go next week if they are still there ill snag them up if you are interested.

Nawww, that's above my budget. My starter set consisting of 8 sockets was only about $6 total. 7/16" to 1-1/8", but I do realize that I might have to pay more than that to fill in the gaps. I would likely pay around $4 or up to $6 for each socket. Maybe a little more if they are in REAL NICE condition.

I definitely don't want any with owner's marks on them. In addition, the set you mention would only fill two gaps I need.

The way I look at it, I'm in no hurry and a seller that wants more must decide how long they want hang on to those.

Thanks,
Steve

Yeap no problem. Just wanted to throw it out there. To be honest these look barley used, only reason I think they are going for that price. Ill make sure to look out for singles though.
