Bonney Forge valves are forged rather than cast, which suits high pressure and small bore. Socket weld and threaded ends dominate, with Class 800 the most common rating and Class 1500 and 2500 appearing in higher-pressure service.
These lots are reviewed by count: how many of each size, material and pattern, and whether they are new. End caps matter, because a socket weld preparation that has been knocked about needs re-machining.

Inspection points
What decides the price
Count by size and material
A simple table of size, material and quantity is more useful than a narrative.
End protection
Caps on the weld ends. Missing caps mean possible damage.
Markings
Body stampings identify material and class. Box labels identify the part number.
What to send
Making the review quick
A wide photograph of the whole unit, a close photograph of the valve nameplate, and the model number if you have it. If there are several identical units, one set of photographs and a quantity is enough.
If the equipment is already separated, keep the parts together and label them as a set. A matched pair is worth more than two orphans.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy part boxes?
Yes. Partial boxes are normal in a stores cleanout.
