Whitworth tool find at the annual Big 3 spring Swap Meet, at Qualcomm (still going to be there tomorrrow if you can make it)

 All of these are at R H Parkers Garage, and it's under a large long grey canopy, about 10 rows from the North side of the Qualcomm parking lot

 This set is unusually helpful in that it has both Whitworth and British Standard sizes marked

 The Dowidat set is a German company, and good tools, I have a set of metric combo wrenches from Dowidatt

but the big score waiting for someone is this Bluepoint tap and die set, it's Whitworth. Only tap set for Whitworth I've ever heard of, a mechanics necessity
