Blackhawk retail tool display/sales box
« 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?
Rogue River, OR.

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

[ https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Saturday_Evening_Post/D_x4vQyICG8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=blackhawk+parkerized&pg=RA9-PA167 } if the link works brings up a 1919 Saturday Evening Post ad for "PARKERIZED" that includes BLACKHAWK wrenches in the upper left hand corner.
