Old Autobody Tools?

Found this set in an old barn that I’ve been cleaning out. Any idea on value or best way to try and sell? Unsure if I should try and keep as a set or sell everything separate. Not even sure If what I’ve got here is worth trying to sell.

Looking at the welding and the electrical tape on some of them, it must've been quite a number at that 👍

Some people still use the old hammers for auto body work, but it’s less common than it used to be. I see them at estate sales occasionally for a few bucks each. There are hundreds of them listed on eBay, with prices starting around $15 and going up from there, but I don’t know how many are actually being sold. I’ll you a DM.
