That is a really cool set. Because I have some kind of OCD that makes me look this stuff up, here it is on page 28 of this catalog:https://archive.org/details/moore-and-wright-catalogue-no-61-1961/page/28/mode/2upIt's also in this price list on page 51:https://archive.org/details/moore-and-wright-price-list-no-61/page/n51/mode/2upI tried to figure out the price in today's US dollars but I'm getting around $25,000 which doesn't seem right. Does anybody know what "656/8" means?
Possibly 656pounds/8shillings ...
The pound was worth 5 USD for many years around the midcentury. So I get roughly $3280+.
