Looks incredible! I'm glad you moved forward with the resto/refurbishment. :thumbup: I've been avoiding GJ since late June. I found that I had become obsessed with vintage tools and purchasing them all while letting other priorities lapse. Some things are better on the home front while some of...

Great post! I have the same question, different model.

I'm not sure on collectability, but I like how well built and heavy it is. I'm sure that's what attracts most everyone to the older boxes besides personal memories and a longing for yesteryear.

I picked up this Duplex recently for $10. Guy said he bought it about 45 years ago at an estate sale in Florida. He then used it as his daily toolbox in the garage.

Very cool, thanks for posting. More close-ups would be great.:thumbup:

It's called, "making it your own." Sometimes because the emblem might be for a manufacturer you like/own. Sometimes to confuse your friends :headscrat Sometimes to "complete a look" you are going for or to eliminate a non-cohesive font style.

Here's a shot of my neighbor's. If you need any others, let me know and I'll ask him.

There's one just like (or was listed)it listed for $50 on CL, but it's 3 hours away on the sunrise side of the state. Check out my ReStore thread for the other things I've picked up.

Thanks. It might be my job that causes it, but the more I look at it, the more I see that is worn or chipped off.
