I am looking for homes for these items from my father's shop, in most cases I do not know the value, and will be looking for offers. Buyer pays shipping given I do not know where it maybe going. Thanks!

I'm a newcomer to this site and to model engineering and am interested in some of the things you are offering, including this tap and die set and perhaps a set of castings. And it looks like I am just down the road from you, in Menomonie, WI

The taps and dies you show may have been sold by the Tap & Die Co., but they were manufactured by Totem.
Totem was a well respected tap and die manufacturer in England.

I saw the same set on E-bay . This was a used set in supposedly good condition. Sold for $100.00.
Your set looks in perfect condition though cannot be sure from a pic.
My nephews are machinists and they said that Stuart is a good set for the money.

Thanks Mike! the feedback is helpful. From looking at the case and the taps and dies, I don't think my Father had used them yet. Bart

The label on the box tells us they were sold by Stuart, during their Guernsey ownership. I think they are likely to be carbon steel, not HSS. I don't think they have anything to do with the Tap and Die Co (which I have always found overpriced whenever I have looked).

 

[NRHangar]

Good morning Charles, the taps and Dies have the Totem label on them, how do you check if they are carbon steel or HSS? Thanks for the assistance. Bart

 

[deverett]

If taps and dies are HSS, they will be etched/engraved with HSS usually on the top, but maybe on the bottom, so your taps and dies are carbon steel. That is not necessarily a bad thing for occasional use, despite what you may hear to the contrary.
