Very nice. Is it yours ? Back in 1981 I started working at a new job that would last for 32 years. I became the engine mechanic in a wrecking yard. Beside selling used auto parts, they sold Duro Chrome and KD brand tools. After about 8 or 10 years they decided to quit selling tools and gave the remaining tools to us employees and tossed the tool boards and tool racks in the dumpster. If I had only had the foresight. Back in the mid 1970's when I worked in a bakery, one of our customers worked at Thorsen Tools and had some pretty cool Thorsen belt buckles that only employees got. He worked in the plant in Oakland California and I worked in Pinole Calif about 15 miles South of Oakland.

Be very careful! Thoresen tools can be addictive.  Oily Rascal found a four sided Thorsen display and when last seen, he was buried up to his Adam's apple in Thoresen wrenches.

Don't I know it.  I bought one at an estate sale a while back because I liked the design. It is taking a lot of restraint to not seek its missing siblings.....
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Yeah I know I`ve got about 7 P&C boards and a big standing upright display. All being filled up.
