Up for sale is a rare, high-quality collection of vintage silicon carbide waterproof sandpaper from renowned Michigan Abrasive Company of Detroit, MI. These bundles were likely manufactured between some time between 1950-1981. This lot is perfect for vintage tool collectors, professional restoration specialists, or automotive enthusiasts who prefer the reliability of vintage finishing supplies.
Lot includes: 1. Full Bundle (50 sheets) - 9" x 11" Silicon Carbide Waterproof Paper. Box/Outer Sleeve Packaging remains in great shape for display. 2. Partial Bundle (15 sheets) - 9" x 11" Silicone Carbide Waterproof Paper. Box/Outer Sleeve Packaging remains in great shape for display. 3. Two tightly wrapped Bundles (Approx. 400 Sheets Total) - 41/2 x 51/2 320 A Grit (Extra Fine) Closed Coat Sheets. These bundles appear very snug inside of their original packaging, which made me decide not to try to take the sheets out to count them. I fear I would have a hard time getting them back inside of its packaging and there's a good chance of me damaging the packaging in the process of attempting to take them out and putting them back in. The appearance of the sheets being so tightly snug inside of the outer sleeve makes me think/assume that all 200 sheet are likely inside, but I simply can't say for sure that all 200 sheets are inside of each sleeve.
This lot appears to be 465 total sheets of sandpaper that are two different sizes, but the total may vary since I was unable to count the two 200 sheet bundles. All 4 packaging appears in very good condition. Only one of the packaging has any real damage, with a small part of one of the labels on the side of one of the 200 sheets box being partially ripped (as seen in pictures). Please refer to pictures for your opinion on condition as well as how many sheets appears to be in the 200 sheets bundles. 1 of the 4 bundles I can say it NOS based on the count of 50 total sheets. One of them is only a partial of 15 sheets, so it isn't NOS. The other two 200 sheet bundles appear to be NOS, as both appear to have the 200 sheets inside based on how snug the sheets fit inside of it's packaging, but I simply can't say for sure if they are NOS and have the complete 200 sheets per bundle inside without counting. This item is being sold "as-is" and with a personal no return policy attached. You are bidding on and purchasing this item knowing there is the chance that the amounts of sheets specifically with the two 200 sheet bundles could somewhat vary, as they haven't been officially removed from the packaging and counted. Items will be shipped no later, but most likely much sooner, than 5 days after purchase is made and payment is sent. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Thanks!
