I'm not a Thorsen guy, but those boards are really something!
What did they set you back?  How would a seller put a price on them?
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

Very cool find, they look to be in good shape. We have another member of tool talk who was or is collecting Thorsen tools to fill boards similar to yours. "Oilyrascal" is what he goes by if my memory is correct. He and I made some trades quite a while back but if he is still around he may be able to help you out if your looking to fill your display boards.

He's still collecting thorsen last I heard. Not sure if he is on tooltalk much, but we often coment on each other on Facebook. Ile give him a heads up on this post.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Very nice, Skip.  I have the same boards, still working on some.....some filled.   Great find.  They'd have a home with me.

Thanks Oily

I figured you had these already.

Are they from a spin around rack? 

Are they 3 sided or 4?

It was four sided, double stacked with the top level tapered
