My friend said "I have a box for you."
« on: March 08, 2018, 04:32:26 PM »
When I stopped by to visit my 94 year old friend he said "I have a box for you."  He still putters around in his shop and somewhere found this North Bros Yankee box.  Picture is as he gave it to me and when I opened it the label looked almost new.  Unfortunately neither screwdriver is correct to the box although the attachments are correct.  It calls for from the top No. 30 spiral screwdriver, then No.11 ratchet screwdriver and lastly No. 15 ratchet screwdriver.  I have many Yankee screwdrivers, but none that match these numbers.

Hello, Coolford. Nice find!!! The No. 30 Spiral Ratchet Screw Driver is probably the easiest to find. The other 2 are more elusive, and are length specific to the No. 100 Tool Set. From the Yankee Tool Book ; No.11 Ratchet Screw Driver, with blade 6 in. long.   No. 15 Ratchet Screw Driver , with finger turn on blade, with blade 3 in. long. Regards, Lou

Checked on e-bay and it appears it will not be too difficult to fill it out with the correct No's.

Yup.   That's sweet even without the right drivers.   Now, when you find those, you'll have a perfect display model! :smiley:

Lets face it, there are still jewels out there in the hands of other than collectors.  My friends shop is such a mess that one cannot even walk around in it.

Took this pic at a MWTCA meet awhile back.  I might have that little one in the middle.  If this fellows shop is that cluttered he would fit in here very well,,,
