Got some Herbrand love!

[That Man's Mustache]

Online auction find. Couldn't see any branding from the posted photos, but with the vintage style I didn't want to pass them up. Ended up winning the auction for $11.25. Picked them up last night after work and this is what I got.

A box of mostly vintage Herbrand, prolly from the 40's.

Two S-10 1/2" ratchets.

Six 1/2" drive sockets.

The one on the right looks barely used!

Four 3/4" sockets.

Three 1/2" to 3/4" adapters.

1/2" extension.

Couple of 1" Snappys.

And to round things out, a PowerKraft, 3 Husky's and a little Blackhawk. The first two Husky's look like impacts.

Now that I found Herbrand was made in Ohio, I got another brand to look out for!

Nice man. Don't want to thread jack you but what's the background on this company? I noticed a lot of it at the farm last time I was out there.

Found this year for $200.00 including herbrand, snap on and mac tools.

I have quite of few tool boxes and this is one of my favorite because of
1. The color is original
2. Heavily constructed. The top box's knobs are incredible heavy and the slides are quite stout.
3. The "Keep Out" painted on the inside of the lid.
4. The tools are stout.

The Buckeye state should be proud of Herbrand's Heritage.

I never see much of the plomb from out west, but you can be sure I find a lot of Herbrand and Mac in Central "AHIA".

Score!

Nice find, you pretty much stole those! I'm looking for a Herbrand combo wrench or two, not too many laying around out West from what I've seen.
