50,000 of them are probably Earl and I.

Would really like to find the #1G and #2G retractable knife handles that appear in the 1960 catalog.
By the 1966 Catalog, they were gone.

Decent price on an Xacto #89 set. Looks to be missing a couple interchangeable heads for the hammer, a couple C clamps, and some of the small drill chucks for the little aluminum ‘finger’ drill that is at the left bottom of the set. Asking $79, plus shipping.

Not my listing nor do I know the lister.

This one is almost too good to pass up at $79, but since I have two of them, I'll leave it for someone else to enjoy.
If it was a #88N or #98 I'd grab it.

Still looking for the following handles : #6L, #5L, and retractables #2G and #1G.

Here’s one for ya GH. Good price on an 88 Hobby Den set…NOT! At $450, the ‘smoking crack’ comment would fit this one very well.

Good grief !
Not even a mint UNUSED with box #99 set is worth that.

Still looking for #1G and #2G retractable handles from the 1960 catalog as well as #6L and #5L handles. The #6L was specifically for the thicker #33 giant skiving blade.

Looks like a nice Hobby Den set, but super-duper pricey! Yikes!

Blades have a lot of corrosion in that set.
If it was 100% pristine MINT, I'd go maybe $175.
Clown is smoking crack with that $325 price.
I paid less than $250 for a mint unused #99 set.

Not as bad as the KOOK that offered one a while back for an INSANE $450, but looney nonetheless.

Default I need a GOOD #6...

I whipped out the "X-ACTO" #6 in order to do a bit o' carving on
the L'l Wizard u/c model. Nearly took a wrench to tighten the collet for the #26
blade.

Yep, it's a 20+ yr. old Excel pos... the ancient #5? No problem.

Basically, knock off tools bite.

Bob
p.s.looking on the 'bay for a real one.
p.p.s just received a PAW 80 (.049) diesel; it'll turn an 8x4 prop after break in
