Title: "The Renown Set of Mathematical Instruments"
Post by: Stuff-For-Sale on March 13, 2013, 06:05:39 PM

Hey guys, I have an antique protractor set. I am wondering how old it is, and what the value would be. I'm thinking it's worth about $15, I have $3-$4 into it.

Thanks

Figured you guys would want an inside shot. Not sure why I didn't put it on. Unfortunately I think it's missing a piece though. Also not in the best condition as the case is a bit bent and won't close.

I would put it on ebay anyway !!  These old tins have been picking up speed !!  May not make $15. but if you can double your money,, its a good deal !!

Agree.  Try and sell it anyway.  There will be someone else who likes it.  Bent and broken/missing pieces $3 to $5.  However, some math genius' family will pay $15 for a gift for them!!
