I've had these for a while!

These may not be the oldest tools here, but at age 81, I've owned them for a while.

S-K 1/2" drive ratchet I bought used in 1955. I paid $4.50 for it, which was a whole day's work as a movie theater usher.
Craftsman 1/2" drive torque wrench I bought new in 1963
Ford monkey wrench that came with my father's new 1938 Ford

Nice tools. Don’t see too many Ford tools, I have a few.

What was the application of the Ford monkey wrench on a ‘38 Ford?

Were any other tools included with the car? I know the Ford tractors had a couple of tools included.

I have that same blue-box Craftsman 150 lb torque wrench I bought new, and yes, I still have that same box! Not sure of the exact purchase date but I suspect it was in the early 1970's, when I bought my first new motorcycle.

What is even better is that you have the mind to remember what you did 66 years ago. I'm some years younger than you and suffer from serious CRS disease.

I can remember 66 years ago ok, but not what I had for breakfast!
