Only the finest tools can qualify for the CRAFTSMAN NAME

Found this parts list under the lift-out tray in my grandfather's old Craftsman 3-drawer tool box. Found it interesting, maybe someone else will as well. I think it's amusing how the whole thing looks like it was typed out on a contemporary typewriter LOL

It probably was typed out on a conventional typewriter

We had a similar typed list show up a few weeks ago, maybe some type of mimeograph, litho etc copy.

Your list is much longer

It would be nice to see a picture of the toolbox that held the list.

Very interesting!
The list or at least the format of it looked a little bit familiar.
Back in the early 90’s, I scraped together a few bucks and sprang for a 300 piece set that was on sale at the local store. I recalled a similarly generic list that was included with my set. I went to my records box and located it. Clearly some kind of printed document vs. done by typewriter, but still rather bland. Based on the 2/93 marker at the bottom of pg. 2, I must have bought the set in 1993 or maybe 1994.

I’ll go grab a couple in the next day or so - it’s in pretty good shape IMO. Recovering from double pneumonia so haven’t spent much time in the garage over the last couple of weeks.

Just for reference, here is the thread I posted a while back about the un-used "NOS" tool set I was given. It had a typed list in it as well.

Vintage, unopened Craftsman Tool Set.. Opinions on age?

My Mom gave me an unused Craftsman tool kit that my Dad had bought and stashed away in the attic several years ago. It still has the brown paper wrapping the tools and the packing list in the box. Also has a brochure for Craftsman torque wrenches. No bar code on the papers. It is a pretty basic...

As requested... the box. Kinda just has some overflow stuff in it and sitting atop a non-matching roller

Thanks. That helps to date the list. There is likely a date stamp on the left side of the top under the tray that could pin it down further.

Check under the tray in the area of the arrow.

Good call - I went and had a look, it's not under the tray but over in the left side partition "Made in USA" and under that "9 72"
