Old Herbrand Box, Snap On, Craftsman etc..

[Darrin88]

Her is a small sample of my tool box collection. I have about 35 tool boxes. I have 6 roll cabs etc. I threw in a portion of my collection of oil cans and a few other odds and ends. This stuff seems to multiply on its own

Like you, I have tools boxes piling up all over the place. I just can't resist those old Craftsman boxes with the oval shaped logo/name plate. It is very difficult for me to walk away from one at the swap meet.

As for Herbrand, my wife found a half-inch Herbrand ratchet handle with the sliding reverse switch button. She looked it up: 1941. She is now convinced that Herbrand means, literally, "Her Brand," tools made for Rosie the Riveter in WW2. I tossed over some Herbrand wrenches and sockets, and now she has a collection that is strictly Her Brand.

Thanks and that's a interesting take on the Herbrand name

Fantastic tool collection

This might sound like blasphemy on a tool forum but I never collected the oil cans, call it lack of room, lack of money, or whatever but after so many power tools,air tools,hammers, etc. I had to draw the line somewhere in the sand so I stopped looking at cans many years ago.

I've always liked the look of splatter finish on the Herbrand boxes. That's an interesting collection of oil cans also.

Very nice....

Yea, The blue Herbrand splatter box is nice too.
