It kept calling me
« on: August 11, 2014, 04:32:47 PM »
Could not walk past this box . I don't need another , I have 8 now! I'm sure it was the old paint name that got me first. But it is in great shape , despite the grunge color. I'm going to try and research the age , my guess is 40's or 50's? The Craftsman hammer and pliers got my attention also.
The wire around the handle made me thing of ScottG  right off , it is the best balanced hammer I ever picked up.
The pliers were lengthened for a special purpose, and have his initials on them.
The other hammer has an odd shape square handle , I assume hand made.
I'll pass it on in the future , now I just like to look at it, and think about the guy that owned it, he must have been proud of his work.
Thought I'd share it

You only have too many when:  the stack falls over and you can't get into the shop!    Good box with a great name.

+1 from the bottom of a pile of boxes that fell on me.

You should get MrChuck to show you a picture of his stash of boxes! He gave me one last year when we went to Garland to see Lynn Dowd's Tool Sale, and you can't even tell one had left the building!
