There are many variations and difinitions as to what constitutes a 'complete' tool set. With many of the tools now being made as reproductions (even a tire pump - of sorts) originality and 'conterfeit' also comes into play.

But there are always someone to buy just about anything. As has been said, you'll just have to 'test the waters' to see where the price point is for the successful selling of your product.

Is this what you mean by a square hole? A friend gave me this tire iron. Looks like it is one of the best I have. Is it original Model A or after market?

[QUOTE=Tudortomnz;985334]Your kit is spot on. Do you have the vast collection of all the various Model A kits?

Hi Tudortom,

I wouldn't say I have a vast collection, but I do have pretty much all tools needed for thirteen tool kits based on the months and years of the owners manual listed in the RG&JS revision 1997. ( Most recent revision for that section.) Also have a couple of AA truck kits based on the different truck jacks.

I know there were more than thirteen changes to the manuals, but I chose to stick with the Guidelines. Started this endeavor more than 20 years ago.

Hi Mitch,

I did make the cases. Back then I had access to a bunch of odd size pieces of free OSB board and carpet so I used that.
I plan to make new cases someday similar to the ones Don Turley had made. His are much more compact and probably a bit lighter.

I agree with Mitch !!! Thats a very nice tool collection . Thirteen is an unlucky number, need to start another set.

Would a set of 'almost' Model A tools count as the fourteenth? Nothing in this set is correct Model A, but some sure are close.

This E-Bay seller usually has a couple or more "A" tool kits listed. Sells one every now and then. Located in Colorado also, but I do not know him.
His prices might be a bit on the high side.

It can't hurt. I hoard all sorts of old Ford tools like model T jacks, later spark plug and head nut wrenches and any wrenches with Ford script that I find.

Well, here's an incomplete collection.

That is just great, really rich! An ''almost toolkit''. In fact it looks like a lot of ''original'' kits guys believe they have.
I have always said every original kit should have at least 2 or3 items missing. The unused ones I have seen have been like that!

Nice set of tools. They are fun to find.
