Welcome GG. Don't mean to rain on your parade but, would you value a car without seeing it. It's really difficult. They could be worth quite a bit. It mostly depends upon condition, if the tools originally went with the case and how many are missing if any. Try and post some photos and you'll receive more accurate guesses.

GG, I'm at work and they block some sites. I couldn't tell that you had photos. Sorry. Someone will see them and at least give you an idea. I'll look at them when I get home in about 3 hours.

gguthrie....I can see em just fine...can't really help with value....would be worth more to a guy with A nice Bland Shotgun looking for an original case.
Hang out for someone like that first,rather than selling it as just a nice old case etc.
Though I guess he wouldn't have to tell you he had a Bland, now would he?
I dunno
nice though

It's a hammer gun case as I see it. The canvas cases don't bring what oak and leather ones do, but I think the right guy may pay $300, give or take. The tools are neat and I really don't know how to value them. In my opinion, they , with the maker's name, would bring somewhere above $500.

GG,

Glenn Davis at Woodcock Hill in Pennsylvania sells and is connected with Bland. Give him a call and he might be willing to give you a rough assessment 'tho Daryl looks on track...
