Title: Early 50's Craftsman Tool Chest and Roll away
Post by: johnsironsanctuary on November 25, 2012, 10:24:02 AM

This is from a friend in my Wisconsin neighborhood. He sometimes lurks as a guest, but can't seem to pull the trigger and join. I thought that someone might be interested. Shipping is not going to be cheap. I think Greyhound might be the way to go, but I'll work with him to ship it somehow. His email and photos are below.



John,
I hope everything is going well. Before I take this to Craigslist, I thought I'd see if you were interested in it. It's a 1950s (maybe late '40s) Craftsman top and bottom chest. It needs restoration and has some of the typical old toolbox issues (seized casters, holes drilled for a lock, etc), but it's remarkably complete and straight. If you're interested (or know someone who might be), please let me know in the next few days. My "fellow tool collector" price is $100, or make an offer.

Rick

1930, PM me with your zip. I'll work up a G'hound quote. Papaw, sorry I didn't find out about the bus until after I shipped to you. It seems to be cheaper.

I forgot to put Rick's email in the post.

I have about that same box.   Came from my wifes uncle, who was a body man after returning from WWII, and being so, painted it a very ugly green.   Otherwise I'd be interested, except I couldn't get it in my shop with a shoehorn.   For shipping, do we have any long haul truckers around here?
