Buy it quick! It'll clean up nice. And enjoy it.

Thank you. Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green. For the lettering I cut a narrow strip from a foam brush and sprayed the silver from a rattle can into its cap and lightly dipped the foam. It just takes a light touch to apply.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I just wanted to show my before and after of my 5" Wilton model 1645. I found it at a flea market for $100. Some may say I paid too much. I kinda think I may have, but it was in great mechanical condition and suits my needs.

I think you did just fine especially sine you found a base. There seems to be some vise snobs.

I recently started buying old and not so old used tools here and there on Ebay for my personal use. Like you said, they are going to a good home. I like to think I make a connection with the previous owner whenever I pick them up or use them. My tools will be going to my son someday and I like...

Good job! The color scheme and the reason behind it are a nice touch.

'My 4" Craftsman I bought new (made in Japan) from late '70's or early '80's and 4" Prentiss Bulldog that I picked up at a vintage flea market last year. Both with recent repaints. I love Rust-oleum Safety Red. The brass tag on the Prentiss says US Govt. Prop. and Calif. Ship Corp. The man I...

Very nice!

The date stamped on it is '76. I think I bought it early '77.

I'd go for it. Good chance to save a neat old box.

Looks great!

Here is my Craftsman rollaway I bought new in '76. I didn't want to see it leave the family and I had outgrown it a while ago. I just passed it down to my son. The small Craftsman box was my first box I bought when I was sixteen, 1971. I keep my welding gear in it now.

The photos are great. I appreciate them!

Thanks guys. I ended paying $800 for the top. More than I would have liked, but I wasn't finding anything. I'll be selling my 4 year old Craftsman so that will help offset the price (a little bit). I really appreciate the quality of these and that they will be around for a long time. The roller...

Well I pulled the trigger. Here's the KR650 on top of my KR560 after cleaning and polishing. Overall in really nice shape for its age, 1990. The roller is 1987.The paint on the roller isn"t quite as nice as the picture makes it look. Thanks again everyone for the advice.

I think green with black letters would pop!

Thanks, that's what I'm struggling with.

Found 6" Channelocks and Channelock lineman pliers. Both in the middle of the street, different streets and times. One of the times my daughter was with me and thought I was nuts pulling over for a tool.

Good points. It couldn't hurt to try to negotiate. Plus its only about 50 miles from me. Thanks!
