Picked this up this Sears box locally for cheap today. They aren’t the toughest or best by a long shot but always liked the way they looked. Hoping someone remembers about what year these rolled out. I like to print the original ad for certain tools I pick up. Appreciate any help.

That looks pretty good thanks

Has anyone been able to emulate the blue crackled look on anything they’ve sprayed? I have a couple boxes that I’d like to eventually respray IF I can dial it in to be dead on, hoping someone has already figured this out but I bet it’s a long shot.

Thanks, Luckily the type of rust on it hadn’t gotten deep yet except for on the bottom and front. CRL with a scrubber really worked well, took the wire brush bit to it lightly to get the deep stuff out.

I recently bought a long carpenter’s box and a short , fairly common box locally. I spend a little time and elbow grease restoring the long box. It was completely covered with surface rust to the point that I think the seller thought it was toast but I was a few methods to remove most of that...

This Stanley 86 came into my life about 4/5 months back and I do collect certain tools but I’m not a big rule guy even though I have several that I’ve found here and there. I’d like to get this into the hands of a collector that would love to own it but Facebook marketplace is usually a waste of...

I don’t guess there’s any way of knowing about how many of these were produced?

Thanks gentlemen i appreciate the research skill

Here are a couple close up pics of the surface. Has a slicker surface than my stanley 86 which is ivory so I’m not sure on this. Gave it a light cleaning and the slicker surface surprised me.

Elderly friend of mine gave me this rule today bc she knows I like old tools. I’m curious to why a New York made rule would have a Germany marking. Also what material do you think this is?

I have this craftsman torque wrench that I’m looking forward to using in the future but I can’t find the model number or when it was made. I’d appreciate any info.,

Hello all, I did a partial restore on this Union box that was all but destroyed when I found it, almost to the point that I didn’t bother but I can usually put a shine on a nightmare. I didn’t go all the way with it bc I was planning on using it like my other daily tools then I found another...

I’m going to be attempting to sell this Dewalt work station soon. I love it but it’s just not something I’ll use in my line of work. I know these things don’t bring much but where do you all suggest listing it? The table and saw was sold as one big unit and I have all the original paperwork...

I’m having trouble find any info on this craftsman rule. I got a Stanley no86 last week and was able to find a plethora of info on it but this one not so much. I figured you all might know

Does anyone recognize this vise? Came with a big tool lot going all the way back to 1900, most tools were from 30s/40s. No4000 on the side.

Came across this thread and found it interesting. I came into a huge tool lot from three generations, one of which men I’m pretty sure worked in an auto plant up north. This set was amongst that lot.

Hello all, glad to be here. I recently came into a decent sized tool lot. My neighbors husband died about a month ago and she wanted everything in the garage gone asap so she could park in it. I was staining an exterior door over there one day and she asked if I was interested in a couple work...
