It's been a long time, but I recall all of those 3T items being about $15.

Yessir! Maybe even $10. I worked behind the counter of an LGS in southwestern CT in 2000 and 2001 during college summers. The shop, still there, was opened around 1960. There were still boxes full of everything you mentioned plus S&W handcuffs, battons, belts...everything. some of it was from the early 70’s. By 2001 there was still at least two full cardboard boxes full of S&W stocks of all kinds, including combats. All prices were $10-$15.....
When prelock gun values starting really popping after I left the blister pack stocks got put on those guns when they came in used with 1980’s pacmyer grips. Wish I had bought them all when I was there.
