Nice opening write up LS. Good luck to all in 2020. I found the 2019 thread mid-summer and it took awhile to catch up but it was definitely educational and entertaining. My resolution is to keep up with the posts this year. No sales locally so I picked up a free front loading LG washer off CL...

AW: Thanks for your efforts, all the emblems are excellent. I was debating about keeping my Paramo as found or restoring it, now I think I will try my hand at a restoration using your handiwork. Thanks again.

Not much to work with but here's what remains on my Paramo.

Here's a Crowntop "cashbox" I picked up recently. Neat green color and sturdy. Numbered lock but no key. Hopefully it cleans up a bit more.

Recent find at an estate/moving sale. Assume it was sold as a cash box or for similar purpose. Good shape, hopefully the stains clean up a little more, no key but lock is numbered. Any idea as to age and scarcity of the green Crowntop tag/logo? Thanks

I'm just guessing. ....clean, lubricate, adjust.?

These photos were recently posted in another thread... hope it helps. Once you get 1 drawer out it will make more sense. I have used a bent 4d finish nail too.

Found this lone MAC combo wrench at a recent estate sale. Good condition with a bit of rust but it also appears to have gray paint on the entire surface. Would this be from the factory or owner applied? Would it have been part of a government contract or industrial kit? Just curious before it...

Spanner: Cool....That bird gets around.

Oregon: Agree on the sticker, kinda wish it was on the front hinged panel so it would be visible all the time. The box was mounted on a piece of plywood with 4 casters when I got it. Guessing the last user worked on stuff that was low and the box moved around with him.

Same one, just didnt know about individual manufacturer threads. More stuff to post in other threads as I sort and clean them up.

Recent estate sale pick up. Dirty but otherwise very good condition. Cleaned corner with some mineral spirits as a test.

Picked up this Williams box recently. Probably made by MBC, missing the lock, has a few extra holes where someone added a hasp at one time but otherwise it is in great shape. Black krinkle paint on top and a cool Pratt & Whitney sticker on the back. Removeable tray too. It got a good cleaning...

Good to know, I will try it out on an old tool box salvage project. Thanks for the pictures.

Came across this top box recently. Lock is long gone but the bars are still there. Looks like someone had installed a lock hasp at some point but it too is gone now.

New here, 1st post, but I have been reading this thread and others for the past few weeks. Very informative and fun. Picked up this box recently. It has some damage, lock is missing, a few extra holes where someone added a lock hasp at one time and a big decal on the back but overall it seems...
