Went through an estate sale place today. Saw some old boxes, thought this one was a tackle box. Hip roof, old latches, andwonder of wonder does not have a hasp added. Clean inside,with lift out metal tray, arranged for 1/2 in. sockets and 3/8 sockets. No junk or tools in it. Inside the lid is a diamond shape logo, quality , etc. Western Auto supply. Leather wrapped handle so am thinking 1930s. Need another carry box like I need the flu. but hey, for $15 wasnt too bad was it?

Another tool box story----Two weeks ago at an auction they were selling choice box lot off a table and all the good stuff was gone, at least I thought so. Choice got down to $4.00 and I took a John Deere (running deere) tool box full of nuts, bolts etc. I did so because I had never seen another John Deere tool box so thought it might have value. Contents turned out to have a few wrenches and a tin snips. Looked on e-bay, the cheapest J D tool box like mine was $100.00. :)
