ad page on ebay;   seller; gdawg
on his page, punch in "Williams Wrench"

it list the wrenches for the board

1935 Williams Silent Salesman Hardware Store Display Board
54" tall
set #A board with 102 wrenches (6 each)
45 lbs
$64.30 complete

your board may also be another year, they would just change the tool numbers on the board
like Walden & Mossberg were doing.

Scottg, Because you already have the wrenches, you NEED to build a copy of that display. Lack of wall space is no excuse. It will hang quite nicely from the rafters on chains.

+1 on that, Scott. The way you work with wood, that display would come out one of a kind!

It's funny that the display alone sold for TEN TIMES the cost of the display complete with 102 wrenches sold for back then.
