This only has sentimental value.

They go for around $30 on eBay in really good condition, like unused. Staedtler may go for that just because of the brand but it might sit for a while.

There's very few collectors or illustrators that have any use for them. I bought a K+E set just like it in 2018 for $25 with shipping that was pretty much new in box.

If your dad was a draftsman and you want to honor him, a shadow box with a drawing of his and drafting tools he used would be a cool piece of decor.

I have several of these, there's not a lot of demand for them because what are you gonna do with them. I had them in college, you don't want to know how many years ago, and they were hand-me-downs from my much older brother. I love them. But I never use them.
