uh huh
I personally found it a shame that no more pride is taken than to keep those boards in that shape. But that's me and I've been told I'm a little OCD............also thinking a pretty board hasn't made him much money. They are basically serving as stock cabinet covers (cabinet doors)..............and behind door #2?????
I guess I should be thankful they exist and some oil field worker hasn't had his/her grungy hands on them.
Man oh man.
They all seem to be IR-era boards except that older Pendleton DOE example.
Did anyone notice that "Official Tools Indianapolis 500" badge thing? That's the origin of the nice Proto "500" series wrenches...

Very nice!
I've got these available to help fill those boards:
Frank - If I misled you I apologize. These are not boards that I own and that I'm filling, rather some pictures I took of boards in a tool shop. I just wanted to share.
When the current owner decides to sell me the store (boards, customer, tools, and all) I will reach out for those tools to fill the boards :)

Cool advertisement.
my Proto board
Is this just for PROTO? I have some PLVMB, A.PLOMB, & PROTO tools that are missing on your board...
Here is a unique one - round and has a light up top. The claim is 1956 vintage.

No Sir! I have no affiliation to it. It is available for sale on Ebay.

I dont think that would be a horrible deal to someone that collects these tools but free shipping at that starting bid maybe would have sold it
I revisited my favorite tool store today and went for another 40-60 year old Nos dig. Here are some things I came home with - in a box now for dimwitted.
I can see why it is your favorite tool store. Nice stuff!
