At a price of $10 for 300 ? Less than 3.5¢ per blade ?
And being the old "larger cutting edge" blade ? You bet they'll move fast.

Well, $14 plus shipping, but still a great deal. He said he had about 15 boxes total to sell, so looks like he has moved nine boxes already. Earl

Stay safe, Steve! Man, you Gulf Coast folks have REALLY been hammered hard this summer and fall. Hopefully, this will be the last one to pass through. Glad you got some of those blades...a good deal. And good luck with this next procedure! Earl

There are a few Xacto Items I would like to obtain:
A vintage #99 deluxe set A vintage #88N "hobby den" set An original #6L leathercraft handle for the #33 blade An original #5L handle A #7kp handle Pre WWII and prior to 1949 Xacto catalogs. If anyone has any to part with, I'm interested, especially the catalogs and individual handles mentioned above.

Here is a link to a fairly straightforward but decent older #86 set, but if you look closer at the ‘extra’ #5 handle located outside the box in the photos, one can see it is a rare wooden handled one.
I’ve only seen one other and that was in some phots that ‘Sue’, the eBay Xacto queen’ shared with several of us a few months ago. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-ACTO-Vin...AAOSwYxFfsbi - Earl

I'm still trying to find a #6L and #5L handle.
Thinking that search may be futile as they sold far fewer leathercrafting sets than hobbyist sets.

https://www.oldrocketforum.com/atta...achmentid=55998 Also, same report as GH on the (300) Alvin #24 style blades from the seller you kindly gave us the heads up about. An excellent buy for three bulk packs of one of my favorite blades. Same as GH mentioned not quite the factory razor edge of my vintage Xacto #24 blades but I can sharpen with my stone. If I didn’t have original #24 Xacto blades on hand I probably wouldn’t have noticed.

Sue currently has TWO pristine #89 Xacto sets with the "Blonde wood" cabinets available for sale.
I told her I would mention them here in case anyone is interested. Would make a great Christmas gift for anyone in the Rocketry or R/C hobbies.

Just checked her eBay listings...she does not have them listed there. GH, are these two sets she just has in her possession but not on eBay?
