While you were at the office This is an Art Deco tool crib from an old Long Beach parking garage.Ive seen ads selling Cadillac style wire wheels for Fords and such in 1951-2 Hot Rod and such mags.Its got a cast iron base that makes it heavy to pick up even empty, but it wont tip over My Dad had it at the Olds dealer he worked at and it got treated like the Rat box at a chainer show amongst all the new SnapOn boxes untill one time he went on vacation and when he returned the guys in the shop had picked the lock and emptied it, and stripped and repainted the whole box Now, rather than try to copy the original Maroon-Red, the painter mixed a few left overs from cans of lacquer and shot it with what turned out to be a really nice 70s era Metallic Brown-Green, then pinstriped it in gold stripeing tape.
![]() And (2) a fairly big Plomb chest, SLOWLY filling up with super duper best on the planet Plomb tools and very early Proto as I find the stuff. ![]() It had a 392 Hemi in before I got it, was gone when I bought it. Would like to replace the 392, but way to expensive for my blood now. T McG posted a 34 front of the car in his Scottsdale GG pics. Will see what I can dig up and post, maybe take a couple new ones and have the wife post for me, I am not a Comp guy, I can turn it on, check E Mails, HAMB, get screwed on E Gay and turn it off. LOL Kirk posted a shot of the flames on the hood in his GG post, its the one with the 50s cracked laquer paint. How about old equipment Pic of my old Sunnen hone, Sioux valve grinder, and Black Diamond drill grinder. Been looking for one of the old Craftsman boxes from the 50s-early 60s, kind of shaped like an old fridge (all rounded and stuff). As near as I can tell it dates back into the 30s.All faqlt steel, top and front caver are bolted together. The drawer slides are just flat pieces. Vintage Tool Box For Sale Seattle Mac That IThere are a dozen-a-tool boxes here Jesse gave me a huge Mac that I filled just by picking the stuff up that was too big to fit in my Normal Roll-aways Heres one of my machinist boxes and the oldest box I own All my 20s and 30s Snap on is already in Poland Did you know that Gerstner wooden mechanics tool boxes as well as there machinist line. I do remember the pride I felt when I got my first Craftsman 10 drawer. A bunch of us sprung for them when they had a sale bringing them down below 100 bucks. This is a neat old box I picked up at a garage sale awhile back. LeRoy NY. Leather handle, still had the original key in the envelope inside. I have been torn between leaving it as is, or doing in some WWII type bomber art. I think the new ( hamb deuce club bling and gold chain ) will fit in it nicely hahahahaha note to self, buy gold paint for rusty chain. Cant get far enough away from them to take a picture, my garage belongs in the gone bad thread.
