uh huh

I personally found it a shame that no more pride is taken than to keep those boards in that shape.  But that's me and I've been told I'm a little OCD............also thinking a pretty board hasn't made him much money.  They are basically serving as stock cabinet covers (cabinet doors)..............and behind door #2?????

I guess I should be thankful they exist and some oil field worker hasn't had his/her grungy hands on them.

They all seem to be IR-era boards except that older Pendleton DOE example.

Did anyone notice that "Official Tools Indianapolis 500" badge thing? That's the origin of the nice Proto "500" series wrenches...

Very nice!

I've got these available to help fill those boards:

Frank - If I misled you I apologize.  These are not boards that I own and that I'm filling, rather some pictures I took of boards in a tool shop.  I just wanted to share.

When the current owner decides to sell me the store (boards, customer, tools, and all) I will reach out for those tools to fill the boards :)

Here is a unique one - round and has a light up top.  The claim is 1956 vintage.

No Sir!  I have no affiliation to it.  It is available for sale on Ebay.
