Pre-post: Please advise if this is an inappropriate post here. I'm not trying to sell here, just get feedback on value. Thanks - Matt

I was given a truckload of woodworking stuff along with a couple small power machines (Atlas bandsaw and sander). Amongst the "stuff" portion there's a Craftsman jointer knife setting gauge and a box of Stanley Surform replacement blades. I don't want to throw them out if they have any value to someone.
I suspect they'd meet the "vintage" category but still may not be of much use to anyone.

What do y'all say - any value in these?

E-bay is always a good idea to check and see what things are worth.

Everything has a value to someone.
It's just a matter of finding that value and determining if it is worth your effort to pursue.

Geez, I remember when Surform was "the new thing". I'm feeling rather ancient.

Both item's likely have value to someone...the trick is to find that someone. In addition to EBay and the like, forum sites that specialized in older tools that have classifieds areas might be a good target to market. And if there's no interest over some reasonable period of time...recycle bin.
