Old school creeper score.

[engineboy]

One of my customer was cleaning out his shop back room today and handed me this.

An old Matco real wood creeper with steel end caps All the hardware as far as I can tell is original.

Anyone have an idea on the vintage He said it was about 20 years old....I dont know.

I know it will look great on the wall in my new garage

i carried them on the truck.............so 20 years could be right. they aren't listed in the 1979 catalog but they are in the 1989 catalog.

I really like the creepers with those tilted disc casters. I have two - an old CMan with plastic discs that I bought new. That has been beat to death and used to move engines, transmissins or whatever. Those plastic discs still roll. Also an old SO with metal discs.

That's an awsome score. Don't hang it on the wall use it!

Hey J.A.F.E., does your Plastic Discs say pat. Pending on them?
I have an old wooden Snap-on Creeper with the plastic Discs also (6 of them) and a adjustable headrest. I have never seen another one like it.
it was found in an old wood shed that i was tearing down to make room for my Garage.
I have no idea how old it is...thinking of restoring it.

That is in pretty good shape for 20+ year's old and you can't beat free.

I have one just like it; I bought it in the early to mid 90s in Northern California!

I have a very similar late 60s CMan that was handed down to me from my dad. Yours is a cool old wooden creeper. It looks like it will clean up well.

Remember. Every time someone says old school a puppy dies.

So long as it is not a kitten, None the less it is still "vintage"

I looked but could not find anything, sorry. The back side of the discs have webbing radially from the center.
