old model maker kit from the 60's i think

[BubbaJoe]

on most Saturday mornings you can find me prowling around flea markets and yard sales looking for junk.. one of the things i collect are old die cast cars. matchbox, corgi,tootsie, bar clay and london... mostly form the early 50's to 70's... since i started modeling i'm now on the look out for anything related to this hobby as well... paint, kits .etc etc... once in awhile i find something really neat... last weekend i happen to spot this and could not pass it up .thought some of you might get a kick out of it

i think its from the 60's or early 70's but i'm not sure.. oak tongue and groove case filled with modeling tools.

Wow! How much was it?

Nice haul, as I remember seeing that tool set way back when.

I remember seeing those - I think X-acto called it a "Master shipbuilder set" or something similar.

Nice find , let me know if you ever want to part with it.

Careful.....you could poke your eye out with some of them.

That is a nice find.

I had one when I was 10 or so. The drill was neat.

I remember seeing that set in the old Auto World catalogs back in the early 70's.

thanks..i'm torn between using the tools or keeping it intact

I would use it , unless it just doesn't work for your building space or style.
