Title: Blackhawk retail tool display/sales box
Post by: moparthug on November 02, 2021, 04:59:22 PM

Is this what I think it is? I believe it to be a Blackhawk tools (counter top) sales box. No tools were included, but I like the box! Found it at an estate sale where it was holding random nuts and bolts. Blackhawk Rust Proof Sockets and Wrenches. 1930's?

Very nice!  I wonder what plating constitutes a "rust proof" wrench in this context.
