I have catalogs or scans of catalogs. 1936, 38, 41, 48, 50, 51, 57, 64, 73. Several of them are online at www.toolarchives.com

Gray called them "spoon type tire irons". Those specific model numbers are in the 1948 through 1973 catalogs (and possibly later).

Just picked up a "Pedestal Mount Metal Bender" (part number 2910165) from my local Princess Auto for $30.01, regular $149.99. The guy at the store said they're clearing out the old stock, they have a newer model in now. The manual says: Die size is 1" to 3" Max bending capacity is 3" Max...

Thanks 930dreamer, it does look a fair bit like the K-21. I did a bit of digging, and I think I have it figured out. I believe it's a "Fleet" logo. The logo was trademarked by Penens (i.e. Proto) in 1947. Which would mean the box was made between 1947-1965, roughly.

Here's the inside, it had a mostly complete (I'm guessing) Penens socket set, as well as a set of beat up "Select Steel" DBE wrenches and a few other random goodies.

I just picked up this toolbox at my local auction house, just wondering if anyone can help me identify who made it and roughly when it was made. Justin

I'm interested.

Very nice! Let me know if you are ever interested in selling or trading it. [emoji106]

I love the story that came with your socket set, it looks like it is in really nice shape too! For the date, I would guess 1960's or 1970's. However I am definitely not an expert on Gray. The fastest way to tell is to check the symbols on the speeder and ratchet. I believe that the number...

This is awesome news! I would definitely love to own a Beach roller cabinet someday.. All I have is hand boxes right now.

Dang, that is nice. I'd definitely pay $60 for it.

[QUOT E=dillymann;4167468]Anyone check out this parts washer? http://www.princessauto.com/mobile/product/productDetail.jsp?name=5+Gallon+Parts+Washer&productID=8003630 My dad had one for several years. Worked pretty well, definitely wasn't a high use item for him though.
