So if this gentleman on Craigslist had taken more than one picture, and if the picture was something better than what looked like an old box filled with rust, then he probably would have had people blowing up his inbox.

But he didn't, and so now it's mine.

For $25 I got this Blue Points box with (leather?) handle intact plus a bunch of random tools inside. Apparently it belonged to his wife's uncle and it came from the midwest.

I think it was a decent deal, especially since I just barely poked around inside before handing him the money and running home.

On to the pics!

And what I was super thrilled to find when I got home were these Ford wrenches which will go great in the tool roll I'm giving my buddy (or at least one, if only for decorative purposes).

He did sucker me into buying this C.B. & F Co. vise for another $10, but honestly it made the cash transaction easier anyway. It's in decent shape though the mount is cracked underneath but not all the way through. Not sure what I can do about that though.

Neat box, I like the nametag. Looks like you have some good tools for experimenting with derusting. :) There's some random junk in there but some of the wrenches and other items appear to be good quality stuff.

Couldn't have said it better. I would pay you $20 for the badge alone.

Haha, seriously. He pulled it out and it looked just like that. Shiny and contrasting beautifully with the rusty box. I think he was very surprised he could get money for it.
