I have these tools laying around the house that came from my Aunt. They are from the 40's or 50's and are all in their original boxes. I've tried searching them on the internet but haven't really come up with anything. I was hoping that someone on here may have an idea of what they're worth. There is a Dremel Sander, a Black and Decker Drill, and a Black and Decker Jigsaw attachment for the drill. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've seen these barely sell at auctions.....Definately not a much sought after item??? If they have any sentimental value to you?????you might just want to keep them? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Maybe someday they'll be worth a little extra but at this point and time, I don't believe them to be worth much.
The most value should be to you because of the family connection.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. I had just never seen any with the original boxes so I thought that might affect the value. I'll hang on to them because I think they're neat. There's not a lot of sentimental value as they were tools that were left in her basement that she barely used. I have other things from her that have much more sentimental value than a couple power tools. Thanks for the help guys.

The ONLY way to get a true value is on ebay, I have had unbelievable results on items like that with the original boxes, There is a collector for everything and you will find the few hardcores on ebay

Yep, without the boxes they are not worth much.

My uncle is a tool collector. He primarily collects stanley tools. He is also into diston saws, so yes there is a collector for everything. Original boxes make all the difference. I would have to agree that the box is where all the value is....look at the black and decker box, it has great design. What is going on with the Dremel box, are they having a party? I like how it is a Sander, Polisher, and a "Massager"....

I sell allot of vintage power tools & those would be 15-20 bucks tops. If they had been old porter cable tools you may have had a hit depending on models. The old porter cable stuff sells well.I live outside syracuse new york where porter cable was made for a long time I find it at most garage sales good stuff...
Got Socony???
