Cotter key can: Lanson and Sessions

[Movin/on]

Has anyone got an idea what year this was available. Can is about 1-1/2 inches across.
Seems to be full of new keys.

Even if it was empty it would be a nice find. Nice accessory display piece for someone with a Lamson & Sessions wrench! Hmm, if I only knew someone like that...

These have been in garage for years. Price tag still on top for .25 cents.

I’ve also got one of those, still mostly full. I used a couple last week. They came with an assortment of sizes.

My neighbor found that the axle nut one of the rear drums on their ‘64 Beetle had come loose. He tightened up both the rear axle nuts and used a nail temporarily as a cotter pin. He was going to town to buy some 3/16” cotter pins and I remembered that I had these in the garage.
The new cotter pins are likely older than the car!
