You may have a later production version of this box, which had a decal emblem. I don't see the mounting holes for the metal emblem but that could be just the picture quality and/or my eyes.

Welcome. You have a few nice Blackhawk jacks there.

I didn't even show this story to Mrs. Horse. Wooden crates are too closely associated with the ones you throw in a six foot deep hole. Wouldn't wanna give the lass any ideas.

He's an early Ford guy and a childhood best friend so while he is out sniffing for Ford parts, he comes across a lot of vintage tools. He has a list of what to look for and we horse trade so to say. In this case, we had a buyer and seller who had no idea what this vise is all about. Because of...

If anyone is after a 4 drawer intermediate, this guy has one for sale on FB Marketplace in Sterling, VA. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/903758935631150/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Well, that explains the fast "no longer available" status. lol. I was watching this one but I'm really happy it went to the right home.
