Very nice David; that's a set you won't find very often!

I happened to see a single example of those last weekend in the country north of Toronto...

Very nice!  I've seen one, and it went to Dimwittedmoose
"FORGED IN THE USA" myself.  Be good to your tools!

Excellent set!   I have one of the largest, #5.   Always thought it would be nice to find them all.  Didn't know the #0 existed.  That must be a rare find!

Scooter I did not know either. One poped up on the bay and I won it. AA had mentioned there were six wrenches in some sets but I had assumed it would be a 1-6 not 0-5.

Yeah, =1 on the not knowing about the zero wrench.  I think I have some duplicates n the 1-5 if someone needs to start or fill out a collection.  They're pretty common around here, being 6 hours from Hnsdale IL.  My primary interest in HInsdale tools has been the fact that my wife was born and raised in Hinsdale(the poor side of Hinsdale, that is!!) and that motivates her to look for tools when she's yard saling or estate saling.  She won't do auctions,though.  pm if you have needs, that box is getting kinda full anyway......I'd rather trade than sell, but.......

Turns out all I had in dupes were a couple of the 5's and a handful of 4's. I ended up having the "0" wrench after all.  Guess the other ones I gave to my brother in law, since he's also from Hinsdale.

I have noticed slight differences n the raised letter size and style...would be really hard to tell unless you had several of them right next to each other....
