My Great Grandpa Harry was an auto mechanic in the 1920's and 30's. The handmade wooden box is in great shape, even the tiny little lock is intact with the key! It still has all of his old tools in it too. This is a wonderful heirloom that I hope to inherit someday. tool box 1 tool box 2 | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I could spend hours looking through that thing.

He was one of those guy's that could get anything you wanted--- he had Jeep keys. The brass would need a Jeep and good ol dad would barter with them until he got what he wanted. Anyway I have his old tool set some of the things in it I do scratch my head over. He had a tool that I just could not figure out, it has a 1/2 in squear drive on one end and a 1" flat blade screwdriver on the other. Several years went by and i was working on a 53 bolt when I saw what that was for. It is a drag link end adjusting tool.
I have Grandan's tool box and tackle box also. All he had was bent tractor wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers. His tackle box had some really coo s--t!! But that another story.
I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
