Tap and Die set -- Left handed.  Some of these are named as ACE items, others do not have a name  on them.  I purchased them thru Lawson products about 30 years ago.  The salesman told me that  they were manufactured in the same plant and that was the only way he could get a complete set,  as ordered.  These have never been used.  If there is any tarnish, or discoloration, it is due to  sitting in my tool box in the garage all of these years, except for the 3/8-24 tap is rusty where the  handle attaches.  Also, the barrel end of the 1/4-20 is rusted from the lettering into the thread area. I was able to remove a lot of it by hand w/ a wire brush.  I think a power wire wheel will get the rest.  One of the dies is missing the set screw, but they are all the same size, and, therefore, interchangeable.   I have a picture showing each tap matched to  a die: same size - fine and course  thread.  The "Ace" dies all have "start from this side" engraved on the opposite side (see photo).   The others do not. Die size is the standard 1".  Please look at the base of the taps - you will  not see any marks from being tooled. I am also including  Craftsman plastic case with two removable trays, as shown. I priced the set at an average Ebay LH die price of $10 each, and the average Ebay LH tap price of $5 each. Taps: Ace, 1/4-20. NB, 1/4-28.  With matching Ace dies. Ace, 5/16-18, NB, 5/16-24.  With matching Ace dies. Ace, 3/8-16, NB, 3/8-24.  With matching Ace dies. Ace, 7/16-14, NB, 7/16-20.  With matching Ace dies. Ace, 1/2-13, NB, 1/2-20.  With matching Ace dies. Please note, NB means "not branded". Canadian buyer -- contact me before paying so I can give you the additional Canadian shipping expense, plus $10  (sorry, mailing to Canada is a real pain)
