That set is what we use to call "Bitchen"! For all you youngsters, that term was used in the 60's, and means "Very Cool"! I wish I was young again, but only if I could re-live the 50's and 60's!
I have a set just like it, but not in the wrappers, and in new condition!

That is a nice set, since no-one else did I call dibs, you know that means, everyone else has to back off :) and let me have it and I trust the integrity of all tool talk forum members to do this 100% .
Thanks for posting the link!!

My grandfather always used to tell me: "Well, people talk about those 'good old days'.... well, these are the good ole days.
I suppose growing up without a home, water, or food will make you say a thing like that, and make a youngin' like me think twice before thinking there were perfect days in the past or perfect ones to come!!!
cheers, bird

No I did not even pay attention after my last comment to the auction, my space is limited for  collections so I stick with what I am most interested in.
