I found this in my late Grandfather's basement last year while going through his and my recently passed Grandmother's belongings. Ever the tinkerer, Grandpa Simon would repair anything in sight, whether it needed it or not. He was an amazing man and I got my pack-rat genes directly from his side of the family. This is a 1935 Lamson nut and bolt assortment. It is absolutely amazing when you look inside the little cardboard boxes. All of the nuts, bolts, washers, etc., are in pristine condition. You can't buy hardware like this anymore. As you can see the date codes on the boxes are all from 1935. It weighs about 75 pounds fully stocked. Anyone out there have any idea what this is worth so I can add it to my insurance policy? I'd love to bring it to one of those PBS-TV antique roadshows but I'd probably get a hernia trying to move it around.

Here's to you Grandpa
