Default Is it dumb to list ‘35 Mech brake parts for sale?

Before I list them forsale I wanted to get opinions if it’s worth the cost & effort to list my take off Mech brake parts from my ‘35?

If they are NOS parts, there's a market for them. If used, much less so, unless they include good original brake rods which are readily brought back to like new condition.

Well, I sold my 34 front brakes to a guy in Australia, so somebody, somewhere is in need of something.

I'd certainly attempt to sell them.
My '36 roadster has been modified to '40 hydraulic brakes. I have kept each and every piece to restore it if I ever so chose.
So, yes, there are guys out there that may be interested.

List it here first and on the V-8 Club's website. Both are free.

It's definitely not a dumb idea. I still have mechanical brakes on my '35's, and I've kept every '35 - '36 mechanical brake part that has come my way, NOS or used, since I've been playing with these old Ford's for at least the last 60 years. On occasion I've even been known to sell, or give some of these parts to friend's in need
