Old Tool Swap Meet (at Andersen Plywood in Culver City)

Yet another tool box...  This one is actually in near new condition (the few scratches in the picture are actually superficial and the paint condition overall is very good...)

Looks like a Kennedy box but is labeled as "LUMIDOR" and says Los Angeles California...  Based on some seaching, this company appears to have started in the 1940s and was based in LA.  It mainly supplied tool boxes for Sears (under the Craftsman label) but also sold tool boxes with it's own branding...

I'm guessing there must be a connection to Kennedy Tool boxes because the design of this box is so very similar (almost identical) to the Kennedy boxes...

Bought this "plank" of Walnut wood...  It's about three feet long and about a foot wide with one raw bark edge. It's about two inches thick.  It could be made into a table or a bench or ?  With a little sanding and a light coat of oil, it would look pretty attractive...  Certainly would be sturdy...


This is a very small card ( about 1 x 2 inches).  Very nicely lithographed in Canada...

Can never have too many feeler gauges...  Especially ones made in Lancaster PA...

German brand (Stahlwille)...  7 mm Allen socket.

I think this might be an old pickup truck gas cap...



Spoke Wrench with 8 sizes... could be very handy...
No markings at all (manufacturer or location...) so I suspect NOT made in the USA...



Craftsman socket.  Interesting idea of putting a plastic sleeve at the bottom of the socket for making the size and also for easier turning of the socket by hand...  But I wonder how easily it could be damaged or fall off...
