Title: Another Scarce Recent Find - Firestone
Post by: twertsy on June 15, 2019, 05:55:38 PM

Saw this box on a table at the flea.....nothing special 'til I opened her up and saw the logo.  I've been hunting this box since I saw it in a catalog I failed to procure on eBay.  I've been scrounging Firestone tools waiting for this box, and had every piece to fill it.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/892a65ccde66c8a0c6443812b7b1d0be.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/622da438e5f313afcbad1fac5d2d09f6.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/03f91f44108eb85becc44230c272a141.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190615/eba6de0dc372af1e2ea8a6b77abb8c02.jpg)

Naw, I am partial to it the way it is.  I don't mess with stuff too much as I prefer to leave things as found.  2 exceptions are the Blackhawk folio and the 1913-15 Bonney chest.  I had those "refreshed, not restored.
