Does anyone have some Original Vintage Era Factory Painted Wrenches from International Harvester...Or Pics of Some?

I Picked up a Pretty Large Lot of IH Wrenches from a Barn and all of them are Painted...I have Never seen These Old Wrenches in their  Original Factory Paint So I Cant Tell if they are a Repaint!...They Were in a Old Red Case Box...All i can Find Online are Wrenches that have Been Repainted...I want to see some that have the Original Red Finish to Compare mine to them!

Thanks

Silver painted lettering seems a bit over the top, but I don't see enough IHC to say no,never happened, glad Jimwrench has some :)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Ya I Was thinking the Same thing, But after Looking at Pics of Old Farmalls they had the Same Red Looking Paint with Silver Highlights...If these Were Repainted they Did do a Good job!

I Have a Chance to Get Alot More also...They are Going to Let Me in to see His Shop, They Say he has tons of them...Ill Wait to Judge until i see them Infront of me though!
