Those aren't factory rivets or drive screws.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

The badge is secured with pop rivets. Looks like an arts and crafts project to me.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Has anyone seen a bench grinder like this before? I've never seen a Heritage "block" style. Is it something correct or cobbled together?

Cobbled together. And missing the guards

Nice little estate sale find today. First one I’ve seen with screw retainer clip intact…..

Craftsman (Palmgren) rotary table. I still need to find a couple T-slot nuts.

Craftsman (Palmgren) rotary table. I still need to find a couple T-slot nuts.

Frank, That's super cool. I know one handle rotates the t-slots what do the other two do? Raise and lower it? Or shift it side to side and front to back?

 

[Cruzan80]

Yes, side to side and front back, along with rotation. Hard to find, especially with the clamps.

Yes, side to side and front back, along with rotation. Hard to find, especially with the clamps.

Yes, X, Y and rotate.
I think those t-slot nuts are an odd size. The jaws take 3/8" socket head bolts, but I can't find nuts with 3/8-16 threads that are 1" wide at the base, 1/2" tall, 5/8" slot. I'm still not positive those are the oe nut dimensions.

I picked this set up at the flea this morning, hiding on a table with a bunch of miscellaneous socket sets. Complete! I don't think the vendor knew what they were even as he sold them to me. I am guessing late 40's or early 50's based on the markings. The ad is from the 1952 cat. The box is homemade.

Dang! Nice find!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

This carry box was practically free. I'll probably cart it along to a big show/sale this year where I plan to get rid of a lot of my stuff, just in case someone likes the patina. Otherwise, I will salvage the badge. Hard to believe there's "Machinery gray" under there somewhere. Funny thing is, one look at the inside and it instantly reminded me that it's the color of every other 2023 model car on the road these days!

I just packed one of these hand carry boxes home too. Sitting in the hazy beach light outside a coastal junk shop the wrinkled gray finish had a bluish hue to it that got me to look inside. Obviously never a mechanics box. More of a time capsule of what a 50's era homeowner might have kept on a shelf for occasional use. I doubt I bother to clean it up at all or separate it from the contents. This one's 20" wide and also has the aluminum handle. Also a little cash box with a heritage logo that came along for the ride. Ed.

Nice time capsule! I really like the RIG box (and I assume the contents) that looks practically unopened!

Both of those are nice boxes but the small, cash style one is exceptionally nice. That’s an early “first gen” heritage logo that you don’t often see. Both of those appear to have lead an easy life

I picked this up yesterday at a digger estate sale. It was sitting upright in a bucket out behind the far shed.

Thinking it roached out, I pick it up, and feel it rattle. I check inside, and low and behold:

As you can see, most of what is there (and it is missing a few pieces) are still covered in the BLO like substance they used. The pieces on the right are circle U, and do not match the rest of the set perfectly, but I was surprised to find all of this. Also, in the box were the missing pieces to a RTEC set I had in my basket!

Mine has more of a 2023 Ford Cactus Green hue, but yeah, that's it. It's funny, because they are telling two completely different stories! As I was looking through the thread for pictures of what the original color SHOULD be, I saw that @d42jeep found a nearly mint one, too.

Also, in the box were the missing pieces to a RTEC set I had in my basket!

Divine Picker's Providence! I love when that happens.

 

[d42jeep]

Here is my Heritage cash box.

[Oregon rock crusher]

Looks like your cash box has a hammer tone finish Don. Mine is just a smooth finish plain grey. Also the key won't pull out of the keyhole on mine unless it's in the locked position.

So, thanks to @Rocky Rotella, I discovered that the t-slot nuts are simply a 7/8" square with a 3/8-16 threaded hole in the center... too easy to make a set.

It looks the gasket punch set shares a handle with the bushing driver set.

Dang, you ****! Thats amazing. Was this behind the shed/play house ?

 

[bmwrd0]

Back behind the lean-to and next to the second garage, if you know what I mean.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Nice! Got these two as a side deal to some offer up stuff. The 1/2 set has a bunch of BE stuff, but 3/8 box is empty

 

[bmwrd0]

I have a couple of the 1/2" boxes in various colors/brands, it is a good box.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I like the the carry handle on 1/2 box. You can jam a bunch of stuff in them too

 

[Bockscar]

Picked up at an auction today

 

[btrnuthatch]

Lucked into this today. I asked "how much?" and it sounded like he said "eight." So I repeated "8?" just to be sure. He quickly replied "seven?" Felt is ratty but rust is minimal. And it has keys (numbers match) but the mechanism is stuck. I squirted some Kroil in it and it loosened a bit but the hook will not come up. Any pointers on how to unstick? I've only used finger pressure back and forth; no pliers for fear of regret.

Update: Now unstuck. Hook part was jammed slightly on the top of the housing. Gently pried it up which freed it up.

Otherwise, I'll give it a quick once over and put it into service. I like Bockscar's drawer pulls better (above post) but not complaining.



Thanks.

One of my uncles brought this 1/2" set back to the UK from the The States either during, or just after WW2. It's now mine and has had very little use throughout its life.

As posted on the Garage Sale Thread, I found this 25 piece Craftsman 5460 T&D set last week. I'm not especially big on T&D sets, but the box for this one intrigued me. I thought it was some sort of early composite material but according to the 1949 catalog, it's just pressed wood--and I take that to mean pressed sawdust. The box weighs three pounds empty. Prior to '49 the set was only offered in a hardwood case. The 1950 & 51 catalogs are not available on archive.org and the set does not appear in the '52 catalog.

The set is missing a few items:
The Tap Wrench (No. 4067)--which I sourced this weekend on ebay for twice what I paid for the whole set...
Both 1/4" NC & NF taps
The 5/16" NF & 7/16 NC taps, along with the 1/8" NPT tap
The 1/2" NC and the 1/4 NF dies are O.K. Jrs. from Greenfield Tap and Die (G\T/D) and the 1/2" NF die is missing
The red Adjustable Die Stock is missing the cam plate and screws
The screw driver was missing but I loaned the set one that is pretty close to pictures on the internet
The red interior contents label
The set included several extra taps, most from GTD, who I think it's pretty apparent supplied the set to Sears.

 

[TexTJ209]

Nice score! I think one of those has been posted on here before, but they are definitely uncommon.

Edit: Just checked, it appears in the 1950 catalog, but the 1951 catalog lists it as coming in a new plastic case. So sounds like the waffle box didn't last too long lol.

 

[Old Radar]

I forgot to post the '49 catalog excerpt. Does the '50 listing look like this?

 

[TexTJ209]

It doesn't show near as much detail. It might not even be that same box looking at that 49 catalog, but it does list it as being pressed wood.

(I'd attach a picture but the site upload isn't working right on my phone currently)

 

[Old Radar]

I'll wait!

Very nice set! I believe this box is made of the same material as the nut driver’s stand from this era. Neither held up well and they are not very common to find(photo is taken from a current eBay listing)

 

[Old Radar]

It's possible it's the same pressed sawdust. If so, the nut driver stand has a higher gloss finish than what's left on mine. The stand also appears to have some decorative tooling that is absent on mine. Could just be the difference between a display vs. a utilitarian application.

Hey all, long time listener, first time caller. I’m not sure if this fits here as a Heritage Logo, but I’ve got some other stuff that definitely fits the bill, I’ll post it up tomorrow.

Hello! That is a really nice sharpening stone. This particular logo is most correct in the long c thread but I know it’s kind of confusing since the catalogs show both the long c and heritage logo at the same time in certain years. Link below to the long c thread

Show your "Long C" Craftsman!

If you still have the set You're lucky I got pissed off at eBay and I haven't been flipping anything lately. :) could you take a pic of the inside label so we can read it Sure thing. Made by Greenfield Tap and Die for sure. The red label is exactly like the GTD sets, in color, text...

My dads old box, excuse the rust and red primer. Use it for over flow tool storage these days.
When dose this logo date from ?

[d42jeep]

The price was just too low to leave this carpenter’s box behind today. It responded well to a little cleanup.
