[nine4gmc]

With the tray! nice

 

[PFSard]

Estate saves yesterday.....

Revised Jan 1967...probably that old..

I love those types of charts. Great stuff.

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

With the tray! nice

and in very decent shape... only the hardware is rusty and will need some elbow grease......

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

I love those types of charts. Great stuff.

me too.. need to get a poster frame for it and find a place in the shop to hang it...... classic

 

[Mr_P]

I found one of those years ago hanging in someone's dusty garage. Now that it's mine it sits under an acrylic videogame screen.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

That's a great use for that hardware chart!

Here's my latest Crown acquisition:

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Ditto on the great use of the chart. Very nice box, and even has the original decimal chart still intact...

Couple I'm working on for my daughters. Light doesn't show the blue pearl in the clear well.

Nicely done! How are you planning to re-fasten the crowntop badges?

Probably just standard pop rivets. Not original, but they'll work.

I've been meaning to post this for a long time but never seem to have the time. Found this at an estate sale and could not pass it up. I'm very annoyed with myself because I scrubbed some of the logo off trying to clean rust with a scotchbrite. It hangs on the wall in my shop where I can always enjoy it.

Nice piece...

 

[MoboMac]

craigslist score yesterday.....early...to mid 60s...I'm guessing...?

Works good ..but bushings need some lube.....cord is still nice...and not crunchy...

 

[Gasgt1]

I found these recently.
The wood chisels appear to have never been used.

 

[McFarmer]

Those are good wood chisels, I’ve got two, bought them from Epstein’s close out.

Not that good for hand work but they do well with a mallet. They have a tough edge.

 

[txlonghorn1989]

Very cool GasGT! I've never seen all metal wood chisels and certainly never seen a Craftsman Crowntop set!! I'm not sure I'd expect much from them woodworking wise but I hope I come across some one of these days.

It is next to impossible to find body dollies with logos. If they got used, the logos came off. Very nice find!

Indeed.. just got caught up on this thread.. nice .. For a moment (before I clicked on the pic) I thought.. whow…. forged in crown top love....

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Something I didn't know existed until last night. I member on another site posted this picture with questions. I counted the drawers (7), looked at the handles (looks like they're off grannies vanity) and figured it wasn't Craftsman. I figured somebody stuck the Crown logo on it like the guy that has a Hobart stack with Snap On decals plastered to it. It was bugging me so I dug a bit deeper and sure enough, it is Craftsman. 1959 7 drawer with bulk storage. Those handles are really unique for Craftsman boxes of any era. The poster is going to go look at it, possibly buy it but hopefully bring back info on wether or not it has the AMD embossing behind the logo. I'd like to find one of these.

That is a rare one. I would have thought the same thing if Rileysan did not confirm it to be real. If you want to talk super rare, look at the ‘62 deluxe roller[emoji15] one year only and drop shipped from Waterloo. I don’t recall ever seeing a picture of one aside from the catalog illustration. Did that member on fb ever buy it?

Yes, it has the AMD behind it. Because one is sitting in my garage right now. Wasn't sure exactly what it was when I went to go look at it, price was right so I grabbed it. Now I am still searching for the 10D top to go with it. From what I remember when I was asking about it, it was only made for a couple of years, right before the transition to grey/reds.

Mrs. Torqueman and I are sorting through 33 years of basement 'savings', during these 'stay at home' days.

Cool stuff indeed, Stay Safe to the Torqueman Family!

Thanks, and the same good wishes to you and all the Hawks!


BTW - all the pictures didn't make it, so I just aded some for the bubble level and the drill guide.

 

[torqueman2002]

Thank you for the interest in the Crown Top tools above. I am going to post the remaining Crown Top tool below and the rest of the Craftsman and other brands will be in the classified section, ASAP.

I have a few. Here's the biggest. Well, it was the biggest til I got a crown top radial arm saw with cabinet base this morning. I don't have pictures of the saw yet. The last picture is the beginnings of a crown top badge I made.

I’ve been helping a friend sort through his father’s home shop prior to estate sale, and noticed the crowntop badge on this Permanex container. Not sure if it was always a chips/sawdust separator, or a trash can, or a vacuum drum...
Just thought it was neat.

 

[xs650shawn]

Just finished these up for my daughters.

That’s really cool! One can only see so many grey carry boxes before they have to change it up!

I picked up this crown top craftsman Simpson - Sears Limited torque wrench today. After a bit of GJ research I see that Sears -Simpson was a Canadian joint venture. The wrench dated 1973 seems to work perfectly and is roughly in calibration after a crude check. The history of a functioning ~45 year old tool is hook for me.View attachment 1
