Older S&W accessories, boxes, and grips have been fetching astronomical prices lately. There are one or more speculators driving the prices. Diamond pattern grips have been up to about $300, in some cases.
Time to poke around in the cellar, I think I have some older grips down there

I've seen some blog posts on the subject. If you frequent http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com you'll see some posts on the subject. Grips, boxes, and other stuff all going for big money.

Amazing.

You did remember to sort the left hand nails from the right hand nails right? You know they put the heads of the nails on the opposite side. Oh, and you have to use the right hand nails on the left side and vice versa because those pesky Brits like to drive on the wrong side.

Don't even get me started on the Witworth tools.

I have had Metric Crescent Wrenches. And, Metric Phillips screwdrivers are different than Fractional. They work out to about the middle size of the Fractional ones.

Can somebody swing by the hardware store and get me a role of Duck Tape?
I got rid of a pest for two hours with that one!
