Eric - TIA Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thats very cool. I am not sure the date, but wondering about the plastic case. It looks old, but the plastic case makes me wonder how old. I am not sure when they went from the metal case to plastic cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric - TIA Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 The catalog is cool. There is just something about old tools that is just plain awesome. I am not sure about the items above, I am not a welder. Tried it once and all most burnt down the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
