Bonney Maybe?
« on: September 29, 2018, 11:01:13 AM »
Looks authenic to me-finally got a real box to put the measly Bonney stash in.   Needs some TLC to relieve some of the pressure so the lid does not stick.   Don't know if I will leave as is or clean, de-dent & repaint as the paint is a little faded-might be able to mach up with some tractor paint?    What say all Bonney guys, is it real or memorex???

Looks legit to me. I’d just pound out the dents and keep it as is.

Yep. I'd guess 70's.

I'd straighten it up and repaint it. (That Bonney logo would be a cinch to restore to flat black and silver).

I'm not much into "patina" on old tools. I've got enough patina on me when I look in the mirror.  :)

Looks legit to me Dan, are you headed back tomorrow to continue the hunt? Did you find any good trade fodder?

Legit, no reason to fake a Bonney box.  I am with Cruiser but do whatever  you want.
