German Made "Grand" R8 Collets

I'm looking through a bunch of tools I've acquired recently from my grandpa and see a bunch of R8 collets stamped with "Grand" and "Germany" on them.

I'm having trouble digging up anything online, so turning to the experts here.

Are these anything special? I have a ton of other collets I was already using so these are kind of surplus for me.

Grand Tool Supply (GTS marked tools) was also known as Tool Importers Inc. (TII marked tools) and Quad Tool and they are in New Jersey. I used to buy a lot of good stuff from their printed catalogs in the 1980's. They sold a lot of German tooling. The name still exists.
