Anyone ever see one 'in the flesh'?

A variation of that ad in Automotive Industries magazine hints at the contents.

"The tools are all held in place by leather loops. In the outfit will be found soldering materials, solid double-ended spanners for nuts from 1-8 to 5-8 inch, alligator and monkey wrenches, cutting pliers, pipe pliers, heavy and light screwdrivers and files, hammer, chisels and punches, chain holders, scrapers, hydrometer, emery, emery cloth, cotter pins, and so on."

"The complete kit weighs eighteen pounds."

(Ouch!)

I'd especially like to get a real look at numbers 8 and 18.
Cool set.

Thanks for posting that pic, soo small a picture ( in reality ) and a ridiculous asking price but what a great picture none the less

Thanks for posting that, what I meant though was that seller gave size, it was a very small picture to begin with for their asking price.

Speaking of size, I just noticed that #2 is a 6" folding ruler, which lets me guess at the sizes of some other things in the picture. For example, 18 is probably a 4" wrench, and the auto wrench next to it likely an 11".....
