Trimo Pipe Wrench box
« on: July 07, 2014, 06:58:12 PM »
Hello all, picked up this nice wood box filled with a bunch of old drills and reamers. Box (2-3/4 X 4-1/2 X 8 -3/4) marked "1/2 doz. 8 inch Trimo Pipe Wrenches - Trimont Mfg. Co. - Roxbury, Mass. USA" ... kinda' cool I thought. Any one with a photo of the wrench that would have been packed?

Take that box...

Imagine it full of wrenches...

Imagine it weighs around a hundred pounds

Now imagine a truck filled with boxes just like it...

Now imagine it is your job at the factory to load that truck with those boxes...

each and every day...


(If you worked at Coes, the boxes were 250 lbs)

Somewhere around here are a couple of  similar  boxes with "new old stock" still in their individual paper wrappers.  I forget if they are TRIMO or WALWORTH STILLSONs.  They are reminders of the dangers of auction fever.
                   
The best selling box on dad's dispersal sale was the one marked WINCHESTER on one side and KEEN KUTTER on the other.  Mom had been using it as a plant stand to winter her geraniums over in the upstairs south window.
