About 12 years ago I bought five Nicholson files (6") at a independent tool shack at $1 each.
They had a reduction going on for a few things.
I'm still using the first file.

Please post a list with pricing.

Judging by the number of replies I'd say there IS some interest - despite whatever was wrong with the title.
Reminds me of a pile of 3 sided files I have here. In the garage of one of my rentals are the dregs from 2 old men who lived their final years there.
After the 15 years I've owned it I was finally cleaning some of it out and found them in a cigar box.
I've given a bunch away already but these remain. They have light rust on them but still cut like new.

As mentioned in Rob's post edit, the original title was "Is there any interest."

I would be interested in some of them if you are offering them for sale.

Thanks,

I recently bought a lathe from a terrific gent here in Philadelphia. He has a ton of his father's old stuff that he's been going through. His dad was a machinist at a Nicholson factory that I think was located here in in the area many moons ago. Is there any interest in what I think may be boxes of old Nicholson Made In The USA files? He told me he also has a lot of the steel blanks of those same file profiles. Any interest? I personally feel those old Nicholsons were some of the best ever made. Much better than contemporary stuff from Mexico or wherever else and the steel from those original files may be really great stuff to work with if you're a tool maker.

Yes. What are you offering?
Mike

OP's question was answered: there is interest.

 

[sfriedberg]

Probably means he's off on eBay or Craigslist hawking them all...

30 folks chimed in saying yes there is interest & what kind, how much , how many . Those don't seem like real hard questions to answer .

The biggest problem I see with that, Is finding a cast iron level.
Other than that it is really cool.
Thre is a cool 12" one on eBay for $70.00

Remember to compress your files before sending; it really saves on shipping costs.
