Long C sharpening booklet. $0.50 in 1943 was almost $9 in today's money. - according to Google

you can get those drive plugs from KC Tool out of Kansas City but they're about $10 bucks a pop now.
those 4517 Duros I sent to you - I bought all of them that guy had.

 

[d42jeep]

I bought some of those too. The price has gone up significantly. Thanks for the NOS ones!

^ The seller had no clue what they were, and was selling the package of four as one unit. I snagged all of them as soon as I saw them.
I think I have a dozen here after sending you those four.

 

[d42jeep]

A couple of ratchets in need of one of those.

 

[four.cycle]

^ you'd mentioned that previously in other posts - that's why I grabbed all of them and shot those four your way.
I have NO clue how many I will use until I sort through the Indestro.

 

[d42jeep]

Looks like my D-I fridge set needs one too. Those were a really nice gift!

That is a great find 4C.

Here is a '38 (I believe) Four Star Feature shallow hip roof 29 piece set. In going through the catalogs, seems the four star feature items were '37-'38 which should date this box, but this particular style box not in the '37-'38 catalogs available to me. This style box shown in black in the '36 catalog and blue in the '39. Assuming this box was therefore late '38. This set has double male-end extensions which are only in the 29 piece set pictured in '39 catalog, also those extensions are not shown in any other set and not available individually as best I can tell . This could explain their rarity.

Nice! did you find that complete?

 

[ratcheted]

Nice! did you find that complete?

was only missing the midget set,

 

[bmwrd0]

I am slowly working on a set for that box. Yours is very nice.

Early wrench set made for Sears by Hinsdale

Look closely and you will notice the early wrench set manufactured for Sears by Wilde

Golden jubilee and regular craftsman wrench clip sets

More vintage wrench clip sets including the Merit

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

More of my rediculous obsession with wrenches

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

I’ll try again

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Golden jubilee hand grinder

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Here is the craftsman amber nut driver set

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

This is a set of which I’m pretty proud. 1939

1941 roller cabinet and top box

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

This photo is also a group of which I love. Notice the craftsman double headed wrench. Well, in front of the craftsman is a double headed wrench marked Fulton. My expert advice giver Michael has searched and can find no listing in the early Sears catalog for this wrench.

Some more wrench action as well as a golden jubilee push drill

Something I find interesting. Look at the color of the wrench boxes. No two are the same

WOW! that's an amazing collection!

Thanks so much. I tried to post pics if items that may not have been previously covered

 

[TexTJ209]

Thanks so much. I tried to post pics if items that may not have been previously covered

That's not a collection, it's a museum! Absolutely fantastic, thanks for sharing!

 

[Etchase]

Thanks so much. I tried to post pics if items that may not have been previously covered

A tremendous collection!

 

[Old Radar]

Im going through all my old wrench sets now trying to complete them all.

I wish I could get buildups in my basement like that.

I have questions!
Where is this shrine?
Do you charge for entry?
What's with the self-deprecation in past posts?
and, in the context of that glorious collection, who the hell are you??

Looks like a perfect candidate to be included here in the Sticky

Why he's Pat Eubanks!

 

[Mike'smeatshop]

Wow. You are the Craftsman. Literally. Nice collection.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

What's with the self-deprecation in past posts?

I don't know about previous posts in this thread, but I had the same reaction with respect to how @Patrick Eubanks 'es posts in other threads - where, if I am now reading it right, he has been diversifying his collecting outside of Long C, and still learning about other brands, etc - completely conceals the existence of a World Class Long C museum in his basement!
