Unionman, Nice property and build. What IAFF local ? Local 2068, Retired, here.

The Scott wrench is most likely for Scott self contained breathing apparatus used for fire fighting. years ago each scba came in a storage case and had a wrench included. Used it to change out empty air cylinders. Scba now has hose fittings that don't need the wrench.

Doxhog, Got to ask, what make is the fire engine? Handrail looks like a Central of St. louis or an American but the compartments look like Grumman. I'm stumped haHa. Thanks. By the way nice signs. Dad had some nice ones but sold them before he died.

I had Pioneer build my garage in 2010. It was an enjoyable ,hassle free experience. I love the building and would do business with Pioneer again. My brother in law bought one from them soon after.

The ratcheting end of the BlackHawk wrench is for adjusting the brake and transmission bands on Model T Fords. The other end should fit the spark plugs. Nice wrench.

My grandfather ran a garage from 1930 to 1974 and had a cabinet like this. I don't remember whether it had a top cabinet or not but it seems to me he got it from a dentist office. I know he kept his reamers and such in the bottom part. Dad sold it in the early 80's.

Retired Fire Dept. Lieutenant. Love this site!!
