The vintage Blackhawk Thread

[MR.X]

Today’s flea set me back $2.00. T-12136 Needle Valve Adjusting Wrench (socket). From a 1939 Stromberg manual online. I think misidentified as a 29.

I was a tad late to this one last fall… Think it sold for $20 and was shipped out west… Would have loved to own it!

This one found its way into my vault...

Outstanding!!! I was really hoping someone here got it… I have been buying a lot from him as he brings it back to his house. Some outstanding pieces that I’m happy to preserve.

An early Blackhawk No. 2 socket set, ca. 1919-1921, courtesy of a GJ member trade. The sockets are each stamped with the fractional size plus the Arrowhead logo with "U.S.A." below. They have the flat machined top, characteristic of the earlier production. There are pinched tabs at each end to retain the slider. I love its hexagonal bar stock too. I plan on getting a replica of the inside label and keep it in the box free-floating, but will keep the original one attached.

Great logo on those sockets.

Hi Everyone, My friend Oldjacks has opened my eyes to the Black Hawk brand. I see some folks around here are partial to it too, so lets see your vintage Black hawk tools. jacks, Tool Boxes, nugget sets. I will start with a SJ-18 jack gifted to me by Oldjacks. I will post my ratchets soon.

I have this vintage jack that I was trying to identify. It's similar to all the images I find with the rectangular lift pad and the light. Where it seems to differ is instead of the embossed lines on the side, it has "Blackhawk " embossed. Any ideas?
Thanks

@toolnutz19 - I've answered this question concerning your Blackhawk jack in another thread.
