Herbrand Indy 500 vender display

[Darrin88]

These pics are close ups of two original pictures I have from a. Eautifuk Herbrand display. Beautiful tools made with superior quality in Fremont Ohio. I'll include the last 7 pics in the comments

Very cool display. Do you know when the picture was taken?

Super cool pictures. This was a pair that I used to own that are similar to your photos. One of the sturdiest cabinets I've ever possessed. Thanks for sharing.

Those are awesome!

I find it interesting that as an Ohioan, I have yet to see a single Herbrand tool in the wild, since they were made here. I own a 1/2 ratchet adapter that I bought on ebay, and that is it.

The old factory still stands till this day. If you look real closely at each end you can still see the old painted logo through the new faded paint.

If you often go by there, I'd love to have a nice pic of the building/logo. Don't go out of your way but when in Rome so to speak........
