Herbrand Tool board for Handy Man

[Darrin88]

I just picked up two of the exact same Handyman tool boards at a garage sale. They are in nice shape with the tool list still intact on the back. Here is some pics of one. If you have any of the tools you see listed feel free to let me buy them Thanks

Those are awesome finds.

 

[Darrin88]

I don't have to tell you Bull how thrilled I was!

No, you don't.

How many of those boards, in that condition, can still exist? I doubt there are many at all.

 

[jabberwoki]

Wow so cool!!!!!!!!!
What do you need to fill them up?

 

[Darrin88]

I'm going to dig they my Herbrand box tommorrow to see what all I got. U know I need the 4oz hammer and prolly the Allen wrenches

 

[Darrin88]

I'm sure I don't have the magnetic pick up tool either.

 

[Ksullivan]

This is a pretty cool find! I love garage sales!!!

 

[Darrin88]

I like the cloth handle for hanging on the wall. You just grab it off the wall and carry it all to your repair or whatever...

great find!

I have two toolboards new in the box. Not Herbrand

 

[Darrin88]

Thanks Josh

Very cool, great find. So that was way before Pencraft at Penny's?

 

[Darrin88]

These boards are from before 1958. I'm going to look in my catalogs to try and date them. I'm thinking JC Penby and Penncraft only go back in late 60's early 70's but that's a guess

WOW, never seen any of those. I can't help filling any of the voids, sorry.

Very cool toolboard

I have the 166 pliers if you need them.

I also have a 151-s(or could be 151-5) slip joint pliers, and a 40-10 newer style groove joint pliers. the 151 and 40 are newer style Utica made pliers.

 

[Darrin88]

Thanks Boro. I have to check if I have them. Ill let you know

 

[uniballer]

I'm sure I don't have the magnetic pick up tool either.

I think I do, maybe, or its a bonney. either way I will dig up all my herbrand.

 

[Darrin88]

Uniballer that would be awesome if its Herbrand. I'm worried about finding one of those

 

[Darrin88]

I listed this one on EBay. I'm keeping the other one until my dying days

I missed this thread when originally posted...

Excellent board! How about a shot showing what you have managed to fill to date?

 

[skulldrinker]

I would have definitely thrown that in the trash. I guess I need some edjaucating. How much does a board like that go for?

 

[lbgradwell]

It's very much a function of brand, condition & collectability, but they can go for surprising money if the right person sees them.

Never throw them out! In fact, if you see them cheap at a garage sale, grab 'em and you may make a few bucks listing them here in the classifieds...

I have something like 30 or 40 tool display boards at the moment. I was able to pick most up for $30 or less, although for some I paid more. The majority were obtained thanks to the great generosity of GJ members all over the country helping me out by picking them up from sellers and facilitating shipping.

I have also sold around 20 or 25 boards. I always used that $30 per board figure to guide my pricing. Really rare boards will of course sell for more. And the market for these is so small and vacillating that vale really depends on how badly a person who sees a board wants it.

Hello, Glad to join the Garage Journal Board. I am a new Herbrand tool collector. I purchased the contents of an old service garage and obtained some really cool Herbrand Dealer signs that I am currently filling up. It has really been fun locating the tools. Many thanks to Darrin for all the Herbrand Tool information last winter. I love your Handyman tool sign. Looks awesome filled up.

That's neat. I just got a Herbrand tool in with some stuff I got lately. Don't know much of anything about them/it. It is in this thread here. It seems like it was well made. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=226881
