It looks like a kit rod. Give me some time and I might remember the supplier.
Not sure I can help you with those finger toes though...

Made by Shakespeare in the 60/70's
If it's all there and intact with no visible flaws 68 is a good price, but if you can haggle them down even better....
I know a guy....

Not sure how old these two are.
I have had em for 37 yr's and were given to me by an old guy that from the looks of the cases have been around a good while.
Maybe J knows more about them.

They are the epitome of the phrase one man's junk is another man's treasure. 85% of the shit in those places belongs in a dumpster. It is funny to see the individual affinities for collecting very specific things. Like one guy will have nothing but green and blue dishes from the seventies. Another will have 100 gravy boats and comic books. I like looking for old tools that still have life left in them. But it trips me out to see people with a plain Jane hammer with a $15 price tag. Mother fucker I can buy a new one from Home Depot for 10 bucks. Ain't no such a thing as an antique fucking claw hammer. That's my other pet peeve whenever they write shit like antique or ancient or super rare on the tag. I'm sitting there looking at it like that ain't no damn antique its a pot metal watering can this somebody bought at Walmart and let's sit outside and rust. But occasionally, once in a blue moon, you'll find something
I like how since American Pickers started on TV, every garage sale I go to have someone trying to get rich off any rusty oil can or sign. Stuff that aint worth $10 retail and they''ll have a hundred dollar bill on it.
I have a nice colorful map of the U.S. that I rescued from the dumpster pile at the little grain elevator I was doing some maintenance at a couple years ago. It deserves to be displayed. I need a big frame for it. I think thats all the reason I need to hit a few shops this afternoon and get one cheap
