For not being very good toolboxes there sure are a lot of them still around 75+ years later.

Nice find, I see you've become a can collector. It's very habit forming, I came home with a few also.

Use them but don't abuse them. Teach your kids or grandkids how to use them. If you don't they will not care in the least about them.

It was pretty sparse, but a lot of people. I guess you can't expect much from the first swap of the year.

I like the ACL bottles, nice find. Sovasuds from the 1950's, there are a couple of versions. Richfield swap meet?

Cool GM book.

Hey Lugz, I'm not sure but I don't believe this set came with a ratchet, most likely could've had a spinner. The extension is 1/4" and fairly certain came with the set, all the tools are marked with a # M-*** (m for midget?) haven't a clue why the "special". BMW, only a few Armstrong sets of...

I find my sets at garage an estate sales. The last few years they have really dried up as a source. I only found two sets all of last year. This nice little Armstrong set was found in the fall. I think these are somewhat uncommon, probably due to the fragile decal on the outside.

Hey Ben, I think you're right, near the end of production. I've got one like yours but they also made a red box version in plastic. i agree that you don't see very many of this set. image by , on Flickr

Been awhile since I've found any early or unusual P&C. This stuff came from an estate sale over the last week, except for the really cool box cards. They came from a dealer friend who's Mom worked for P&C until they closed. I'm sure glad the few employees I know brought stuff home rather than...

Yes, a embossed Toolmobile.

Couple I found this week, really have been trying to avoid buying toolboxes but these were so cheap they made me buy them. I'm assuming the Napa box is a Waterloo, anybody know a manufacture date on these? Looked all over and couldn't find one stamped on it. Boxes by , on Flickr

Seldom seen little Dayton 3/8" drive set found at an estate sale last weekend. I've seen a couple of sets before but not complete, at least I think this one is complete. looks to have very little use. Been working all summer so it was nice to get out and see some sales. Dayton by , on Flickr

Nice finds on the lathe and grinder.

Thanks for the ad bmwrd0, that helps a lot. I have a pile of Challenger so I think I'll see how full I can get it Jabber.

Never set out to collect Challenger Tools but it finds me. This was at a flea market last weekend so came home with me. Cr by , on Flickr

Stayed home this weekend so decided to go to an estate sale yesterday. I almost couldn't believe this 3/8" circle TT marked ratchet was sitting in a box of newer tools. It's in perfect condition and looks to have been used very little. 77tt by , on Flickr
