HUGE cache of S&W cleaning rods, brushes, screwdriver etc, help with value??

[spartan66]

Hi I have a huge lot of S&W cleaning rods, screwdrivers, brushes etc.. I know all of it is S&W with the exception of the few blued and brass rod(s). Other than that all the other stuff came right out of S&W boxes that were lying around a 100 year old plus gun shop. Any idea if the blued rods and brass rods are S&W? And also a idea of value of the whole lot?? Thanks

Pic #3-
None of the blue or brass rods are S&W in my opin.
Hard to say if the swabs are, but close enough because S&W always bought them anyway.
Everything else is factory stuff.

Hi thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure about the blued rods or the brass one, but I do know that all the other stuff like the swabs were definitely S&W the gentleman that owned the shop had a ton of old boxes that got sold or tossed over the years, but he would put anything from the boxes into a box that was S&W cleaning stuff only.

Don't know about the value of your stuff....2 weeks ago I came across a bag at a gun show with S&W screw driver, short aluminum cleaning rod, a black jag wire, & a mop & jag, unused...all for $8.00~~~~thinking I got a good deal though.

also a idea of value of the whole lot?? Thanks

If I was selling, I'd place the value of the lot at $200. Kits of that era go between $20-30, the fluted sight adjustment tools $10-20, rods and flat SAT around $5.

Gentlemen,

Please refrain from making purchase offers on the open board; the OP is asking for opinions on value.

Buying and selling is limited to the classifieds.

I got to ask, "Where are the boxes?"

Well I have a few I won't part with, and LOTS were tossed over the years, LOTS! I screwed up bid time and could have bought about 8 or 9 presentation boxes for $20 a box!
