Thanks Mr. Keeper, and no rush.  I haven't forgotten you either.  Found another for you today.

I'd normally move faster but trying to wade through my stuff.......I mean, tools for trade bait for several people + spring garden fever = a little slow at the job at hand.  Yall don't give up on me.

Thanks for the continued visibility, Papaw.

I'm keeping the list updated as best I can, so folks don't waste their time trying to help with something already secured.  At some point I'd like to update to reflect quality targets - as their are some (that I picked up) that would NOT be my ideal display - but that's another day for now.

Again - I very much appreciate the support and assistance with this project.  To say I'm learning in this experience is an understatement.

I had a "flurry" of activity around this project for several days, and it is very possible I may have missed, or over-looked, something or somebody somewhere (email, threads, PMs, pics) - if I did, please know it was most certainly by mistaken and a reminder will get us back on track.

Papaw - thanks again for your care package.  That hat looks good on my head :)  While I might not have an exact slot for everything you sent me on the display, rest assured I appreciate the Thorsen tools nonetheless, and they have a "FOREVER" home.  This project is quickly turning into a passion for all things USA Thorsen.

johnsironsanctuary - trade package is on the way to you - please put those wrenches on a pillow at night so they may rest :)

keykeeper - two vlchk trades to the side for you - I'm sitting on them for now until I can find you some more trade bait - let me know if you want me to pull the trigger and send the two I have.

dimwittedmoose - I've got trade pics off to you.  If you don't get them (or not interested in that trade) let me know and I'll pony up cash offer just not to lose the Thorsen pieces (very nice wrench set) you've found.

Hey Oily,
It's only 2 hours to closeout. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

Thanks Steve!  I appreciate any help I can get.  I'll be happy to send you MALE tool breeding stock in trade.

At any point you'd like help with hauling off those baby tools, just let me know :)

I recently purchased a "New Old Stock" 12J 3/8" break-over for the display.  I received it today, and it is beautiful.

Sweet

I have Thorsen socket 519, UID#66, chrome, unused,  will send it your way when you tell me how.

Let me know when you're ready.  If their is anything in particular I can keep my eyes pealed for pls let me know.   I appreciate the help.

25% of the tools required for the display are either in my hands, or someone's on this board.  I'd say 25% is a milestone worth noting.  My REALLY good buddy...um I mean dimwittedmoose, has a package on the way that isn't accounted for in the status or metrics.  I will update again as soon as I receive it.  Thanks again to everybody that has stepped forward to help.

In a related note - I received a MAC Sabina Ohio marked 1/4" drive 9/16" 12pt socket 182 AND a Bonney thin knurl 1/4" drive 7/16" 6pt V14 as "gifts" with the ebay package today.  Those were nice surprises.

I think you meant to type "noting" but actually typed "nothing" , giving your sentence quite a different meaning. I've been watching and will check my Thorsen stash when the dust settles. 25% is good, right?
