Title: Tools- My little find yesterday
Post by: Papaw on December 15, 2012, 07:38:06 PM
Estate sale find near home Friday yielded these two Williams NM-8 tool boxes. These contained an ignition set by Williams. One box is missing some of the dividers, and unfortunately, that one has the best label inside the lid.

Nope- They will be sold if I can figure out age and value.

That catalog shows a different set in the NM-8 box. The contents don't match the labels in mine. Mine have an ignition set only.
