[twertsy]

Nice job on the box JCS.

Final result of the facelift of the previously spray-bombed bomb box. Still missing a few odds and ends but the search goes on. This was fun.

Wow...that's quite the transformation. The reproduction decals really finish out the look nicely. Excellent job!

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Thanks and yup the decals do make it pop

49997 Free Wheeling ratchet, is there a plug for the end of the handle?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

That's for an extension bar

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Like so

 

[930dreamer]

I'm pleased with the way this turned out. I'll have my PaPal account setUp before long and be able to send some out after casting is complete. This is an initial casting and there will be a very limited supply.
$30 each + shipping. Shipping will average about $3-$7 depending on your ZIP of course. BTW Im not in this as a business, just wanted to see if I could get some made, so I'm not super speedy if you're in a hurry. PM with your ZIP if interested. Pewter with hand painted infills.

Snagged this off the bay last week. I date it to the mid 30's. See 1935 catalog, page 14. The Treasure Chest, No. 70RD Set.

Nice grab. Can never have too many treasure chest.

That’s neat. Personalized tag with registered mechanic. Cool find.


This is a Blackhawk No. 110 Offset Handle. 1920’s era. Pretty neat with the dimple stops. Very little, I assume original, black paint hanging on.

This is an Ebay find I was stalking for some time. The seller wouldn’t let it go by itself, so I had to take a bunch of shabby old wrenches with it. The lot was priced extremely high for months, and it finally went to auction and no one else bid, so I was lucky.

Pictured in the 1926 catalog at archive.org.

Nice find. I wonder if that a part of the C-32 set.

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrenches 3061, 3070,

If you mean 32-C, I don't think so, Roy. I will double check, but I believe the 32-C was the same as the 32-CD except it had Hex sockets, not Double-Hex sockets....

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Looks like snap on version

Yeah, similar handle. I don’t have an original Snappy but I do have the one in the 75th anniversary set. The stops are a bit different.

Ball stops on this one, but I think earlier one had pinches.

New to this thread, but here are some big Blackhawk sockets I picked up today. (Not all of the sockets in the group picture are Blackhawks, some are Armstrong, Williams, NAPA and Billings).

 

[930dreamer]

I have this Blackhawk top box, needs alot of work.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Not too bad. Are you going to fix it?

 

[freudianfloyd]

This thread along with Lugnutz has inspired me to fix up my CD-32.

Here is what I started with...

And although it's not a Professional restoration, and I am far from a body man, I ended up with this....
View media item 93165
In hindsight I would've done a brighter color on the case, but it's ok for what they are.

I might need to finish it off with a new decal inside.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

It all looks brand new. Fabulous job.

 

[freudianfloyd]

Thanks. It's far from perfect and some of the paint doesnt want to stick too great, I think it was just too many years of oil and grease I couldnt scrub off, but it is good enough for me.
