amecks, look again, that was $24.00 per dozen. $2.oo each
many ads of yesteryear had the prices listed for a dozen. and they were shipped to you in a nice wooden box.
I have a nice little box that is 7" long, 3 1/2" wide and 2 1/4" deep. it has what I believe is called dovetail joints
and a sliding top like the old cheese boxes. on one end is the paper label.
it is made out of 1/4" wood and the cover has the thumbnail indentation to slide it open.
on the label; 1/2 dozen No. 48 improved 6 inch Adjustable "S" Wrenches
