I found this partial 1/4" set in my stash recently. It was a pleasant surprise - I had completely forgotten about it! Now to find the AWOL pieces.

Nice score Smoke! I would be happier than a pig in slop to find either one of those boxes around here. But to find the matching pair from different sellers.... Seems some people have all the luck!![]()
While that may be true, the identical color and logos pretty much negate any production distinctions you think you have found. What are they by the way? Are the pulls supposed to be cupped like the roller's?Well I think the top box is about 10 years newer than the toolmobile
Looks like the pulls were cupped in the '48 catalog. Here's an image of the #9990 box from the '48 catalog:

1/4 and 3/8, not sure if they made any 1/2ers. Need to get a rebuild kit for the 1/4.

That looks like a collection waiting to happen!
