Thanks guys! I think it might be my new favorite tool box I own and I am not even a Craftsman guy!

I was looking through a 1967 Proto catalog for something else this morning and found this

A few more pics of the decals

I picked this guy up today. I have to constantly tell myself that I don’t collect Craftsman, but I just couldn’t pass this one up. You can barely tell where the logo was and it got painted green at some point, but you can see the blue peeking through in a few spots and the whole inside is still...

I went to a car show and swap meet last week. I was looking for a big block chevy intake but came back empty handed. However, I did manage to find a 1965 chevy truck owners guide and protect-o-plate in the original sleeve (I have a ‘66 truck), some Atlas dynamite pliers, a little brass fire...

A 1-3/16 is not shown in the 1953 or 1967 Proto catalogs. What is interesting is that the part numbers skip from 1236 (1-1/8) to 1240 (1-1/4). In theory a 1238 should be 1-3/16

Just to clarify- I have seen those on other brands, just not on anything from the Plomb/Proto empire, which is why I found this particular wrench interesting

That was me. Thanks for the heads up four.cycle. Yeah that was kind of early in the morning. I was awake for work. I had never seen those before and the price was decent so it didn’t take long to decide I needed them :)

That is interesting. I have never seen a proto with a four point open end before

You **** Fred! What is the story on that haul?

That is super cool! I know I have seen one other like it. It might have been on GJ but I can’t exactly remember. They sure are not common

This afternoon I went to the first flea market I have ever seen in my town. There wasn’t much in the form of tools, but I did manage to find a Duro 1/4 4533 extension for $1. On the way home I saw a sign for a vendor mall that I have probably driven past a hundred times but never noticed, so I...

Cool find on tha magazines Lugz! I love stuff like that. A couple months ago I found all of 1941 and most of 1942 popular mechanics at a thrift store and I have slowly been reading through all of them

I would totally get that for $50. That is probably the nicest original one I have seen

Those are so cool!

Wow z28, that is an incredible haul!

I haven’t ever seen a Plomb driver with the words on the shank before. Was that common?

Those are all super cool Lugz! That pyrotechnics one is awesome! I’ve never seen one of those manuals with the restricted note on the cover

Someone I work with was just telling me recently that when he was growing up their family car was a prototype v8 Corvair. He said his grandfather worked for GM and and had purchased it for them for almost nothing when the idea was scrapped. I have never seen anything else about the existance a...

That is seriously cool!
