Old tool box at garage sale

[JustBob]

I was out to give an estimate on the other side of town when I noticed a garage sale on my way, and I noticed some old tool boxes next to the garage. So after I get through I decided to take a look. The only toolbox left was this one, with a few tools inside.

I liked the box, so I got it...

and this socket set.

How do you post the small pics that can be enlarged when clicked?

You have to upload the pics to the GJ website using the "Manage Attachments" button down below the box where you type your post. You get this "Manage Attachments" button on the screen where you create the first post of a thread, or on the "go advanced" screen. You do not get it with the Quick reply screen.

Nice find. I have a Craftsman box like that. It was passed down from my Grandfather.

Let's see the socket set. Looks like it could be an S*K.

No, but I was still suprised. I think I might have the missing sockets and extension. If not the lady said I could come back look for it!

a few more...

2 Fullers, and a KAL

Watsco square drive ratchet wrench

Triumph drill bits, Vaco foot long hex keys(allen wrenches, lol)

MAC Sabina socket, 1 1/8

Williams long taper punches

Peterson/Dewitt and Sargent & Co

Not sure on these screwdrivers, only writing is "Sabina" on the ferrule...

Elkind hex keys

Crescent tin snips

Anyone know if those wood handle screwdrivers are made by MAC, as I have seen "Sabina" on others MAC tools?

Mac did make wooden handles screw drivers. Mac was stamped around the shield on the end of the handle. That Thorsen set is nice, I saw one at an old hardware store here a couple weeks ago for $72. Looks like you made a good haul. Imagine what you missed by not stoping when you first saw the sale.
