    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    My Craftsman 6516 Tool Box post clean-up, polish, and clear coat (Flood Penetrol) to secure its patina and prevent any further rusting. The first pic is what she looked like when acquired, then the photos as she is today.

    Unmarked 3/8" Breaker Bar - A Plomb or Not?

    What a nice, hefty breaker bar - but there are no maker's marks, etc. on this one. And from its design it appears to be the same or very similar to a Plomb. Anyone have any ideas? And I wonder if the three "gash" marks on either side, and at top and bottom (see photos 2 and 3), have any...

    My First Sargent & Co. Find

    The other day I picked up a hefty carpenter/framing square that needed some TLC. Brought it home and, after some WD-40 and 800 grit paper and 0000 wool, it cleaned up real nice and revealed its maker's mark and overall character. Only then did I discover I was the new owner of a 100+ year...

    Broken Morgan Vises - Worth It?

    I'm looking at two Morgan #30 vises, both of which have damage/broken slide sides. I've attached photos of each. The seller's asking $45 for either. Is either worth that price with this damage? I don't "need" either, I've just had my eye out for a good vise for the garage. Thanks!

    Kennedy Kit K20 Tool Box

    Just picked up a Kennedy Kit K20 tool box with what appears to be the co's older decal. Any resources out there to help date the box via the decal/emblem? Any ideas from you guys? It's in really good shape and will look great once cleaned up a bit. Thanks, all! Tom
