Antique Military Tool Roll

[@wyattoneable]

Hi Wyatt! LOL This was too good to be true but turned out to be true after all! =D Thanks so much!!

Hi Bob! I wonder if other eBayer's were laughing and saying "Obvious Scam" LOL Thanks Bob!

[@kaibaird4941]

Hey ScoutCrafter, a tip to keep that leather in condition would be to use a viscous oil such as bone oil or neats foot oil, just lightly coat both sides of it to prevent it from dry rotting or cracking. A lot of people think leather doesn’t last that long, but I have worked with saddles over a hundred years old that are still in great condition because they were maintained well and kept oiled. Thanks for these amazing videos, they inspire me to restore old tools myself!

[@tooladdict7463]

I think I must’ve watch this video four times now John and I still get a kick out of it what a great tool kit :-)

What a sweet deal you found. Looks like they were cared for. I'm glad they found a new home with you.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Virginia! How amazing is it to find such a batch of super old tools in such great shape? I really thought it was a scam! (But I bit anyway) LOL Thanks so much!!!!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Great purchase, great tool kit. Your story reminded me of a friend who couldn’t sell his lightly used, undamaged, well-maintained 8 year old flat-bed farm pickup truck from in front of his office for only $4000. He tried for weeks, but no nibbles. He asked his buddy, the used car salesman, for help. Leave it to me, his buddy said. He got it shined up, doubled the price and put it on his lot near his new trucks - sold it the first day for $8,000. The moral of my tale - If it’s priced too cheap, people thinks there’s a problem, and hesitate. Glad you took the plunge Scoutcrafter - great purchase.

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL! You are so right!!!!!!!! Reminds me of this girl named Angel who was beautiful! She was 17 and nobody asked her to the prom because everyone just assumed she had a date! She wound up going with this nerdy guy because he was the only one who asked! LOL

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

ScoutCrafter Ain’t it the truth! If you don’t ask, they can’t say “No”, and, at least, if you ask, you get to have a conversation, if only a very brief one, with the Angels of this world.

[@Traderjoe]

What a great score! Leave the guy good feedback! I always go out of my way to take care of my customers on there and when someone does right by me, I let them know because I feel it encourages them. When I sell something, I pack it in a way that it would survive being run over by a truck! I got a real nice leather coat the other day and it was packed by a lady and this jacket was folded so neatly and clean with no odors and she wrapped it in paper towels and the box was perfect. I contacted her to thank her and complement her on her skills and cleanliness and she really appreciated it. What goes around, comes around I always say

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Joe! I am the same exact way!!!! Being that this was his first auction I was sure to really leave him a lengthy positive feedback with 5 stars all around... I also contact sellers and thank them for exceptional packing! However many times the packing isn't exceptional! LOL Thanks Joe!!!!!!!!!

[@buckbundy8642]

Oh yes. I ALWAYS give great feedback on packaging and shipping. I got a vintage 3 Wheeling magazine from 1985. Took me 40 minutes to open it it was packaged so perfectly. I complemented him to no end and gave him a 5 star rating. I think he was kind of embarrassed I was bragging his packing job up so much! But when you’ve been ripped off like I have you tend to really appreciate those who are honest and genuine.

[@13thworker45]

Nice score, beautiful tools. A couple years ago I bought a radial delta drill press. I paid it minutes after it closed. Never received it over6 weeks. eBay did refund my money. It’s the only bad buy I have made on eBay. Thank You

[@uktony1525]

I sat in my study and drooled as you showed the tools. The perfect handle screwdrivers and wrenches are beautiful and the Billings spanners are fantastic. These tools are now in the best possible hands to ensure they survive as most people would not realise the significance of these tools. In Sheffield there was a chap called Ken Hawley (worth Googling the name) who rescued loads of tools before they were scrapped. You are doing a similar job for posterity. GREAT video.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Tony! Just looked him up! He has a wonderful website and youtube videos! He has a marvelous collection!!! Now I have one for you! Here in the states there is a Legend by the name of Dragonman, he has a military museum in Colorado Springs... Unmatched.... Amazing.... Thanks Tony!!!!!!!

[@uktony1525]

Scoutcrafter, I saw dragonman site and it scared me witless:-). He was reviewing the Sterling sub machine gun which used to be my personal weapon in the army and he would have given our sergeant major a heart attack the way he handled it. Any transgressions on the range meant 20 press ups in the mud followed by a bawling out to remember. Take care.

[@ScoutCrafter]

@@uktony1525 LOL Too many people at the range are way too careless with firearms.. I have seen my share of accidents and near misses. I never go to a public range now! Scares the bejesus out of me! Dragonman has the best museum anywhere. He has a few videos on the museum and it's amazing. As for me I get all my thrills for shooting from 10M air rifle. Thanks Tony!

Hello Vampira! I can't believe how old most of this stuff is! The canvas smells so great! LOL Thanks!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

WOW! You always find the best toys! My Pop had a tool roll like this in a little box under the seat of his tractor. I don't remember exactly what was in it but it looked very similar. I could guess files for the cutting tools the tractor would tow, wrenches and screwdrivers for attaching and adjusting the tow-behind tractor accessories. Maybe? I know EXACTLY the smell you mean. It is a powerful memory trigger! Makes me think of my Pops work shed. Thanks for another great video!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello ITE! Yes! My Dad also had a tool roll and smaller ones in his tool box! The smell of that old canvas is just wonderful! I have a couple canvas tents that were from older scouting days... They would get wet and we would have to air them out so they wouldn't get moldy... The good days!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@richardross7219]

I think that the last pic hits the nail on the head. Somewhere, I have the old tool roll from my Dad's Model T Ford from the 1920s. I believe that most cars came with tool kits up until WWII. After that, it seemed like only the foreign made cars came with tool kits. The best kit was the one that came with VW Beetles in the 1950s and 60s. It made the 1500 mile oil change and service easy. Another fascinating visit with you and your toys. Now, I have to go out and get some more firewood in preparation for the coming storm(already got the generator ready). I hope that everyone weathers it ok. Good Luck, Rick

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Richard! LOL I don't watch the news anymore but I remember years ago when I did a few days before a snow storm they would have us thinking the apocalypse was coming and it was going to be BAD, no matter how prepared I was it was going to be BAD! Milk and bread flew off the shelves because it was going to be BAD! all the salt and shovels were long sold out and schools were already cancelled because it was... well you know... Then I remember the day of the storm thinking "This ain't so bad!" shoveled some snow and watched TV... 4 days of worrying myself sick for this?!?!? =) Never again! Thanks Richard!

Congrats on a great buy. I only had the one good auction, I was the only bidder, and won with my first bid. I then got a notification that the bidder had cancelled the order because they could not supply the item. Two days later the same item was re-listed with a higher initial price. I complained to eBay and the seller, but to no avail. The dealer is still selling, and as you can tell it bugs me no end. I am happy that your deal worked out well.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello 1Lupus! YES!!!!! That happened to me!!!!! Like I was saying it was like the wild west years ago on eBay! So many scammers! One time I won an auction and the item was late... I contacted the guy and said where's my item? He told me it was shipped to the wrong address and he was so sorry but he is expecting it back this week and will ship it right out as soon as it arrives.. I said "No problem-no rush!" Well the item never came so I tried to contact him again and he never responded... So I said "OK I will have to leave you negative feedback" When I tried to leave feedback I couldn't because the auction was over 60 days!!!!!!! This guys scam was stall you for 60 days and forget you!!!!!! I contacted eBay and it took a while but he was removed and I did lose my money!!!!! So yes I know the pain! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great set. Once in a lifetime find. I remember about 12 years ago I bought a working Hallicrafters S-85 Radio on Ebay for $20 plus shipping. I was the only bidder for simple reason the seller spelled Hallicrafters wrong and I accidently stumbled upon it. Anyway I think I paid around $35 including the shipping. I now look for radios and tools under misspellings. Been on Ebay for 18 years.

I rate this as best used tool haul of the year, so far. (Danoh holds my vote for best ever.). Having been born in Billings (Montana), I have a soft spot for tools of the same name. I wonder if there are current residents of Billings that collect Billings tools...

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello FP! I have to agree Danoh has had some unbeatable scores!!! You know it's funny but with certain tool manufacturers you find a lot more examples of there tools around the area it was produced! Especially smaller manufacturers... In Bridgeport Ct. you can find lots of Bridgeport Milling machines! Where as on the West coast not as many! Billing was very big though and had top notch distributers so their products are very dispersed thruout the US! Thanks so much!!!!!!

I have never heard you so excited and rightfully so. Nice find. I've seen some of those items go individually for more than the bid. Early on I was selling off some items on Ebay that were gathering dust. Not paying attention I put one thing up with no reserve. It went for the opening price at less rhan half of what it was worth. The lady who purchased it messaged me and said she felt bad knowing that it was worth more. I told her it was an auction and that's how it works. I have had items that I won the bid on end up never arriving. I also had people angry when I told them my deal with checks and I didn't ship until the check cleared. I don't sell much anymore.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Dave! LOL Early eBay was really like the Wild West! Peter said "Your lucky you didn't get a brick wrapped in canvas" He was right! They did stuff like that back then...

Those tools are wicked cool! Some I recognize from my dad's tools the Billings straight handle and s wrenches as well as that s shaped pick! I love that wood handle ratchet screwdriver!

[@bigdog4173]

Tool rolls were often used on early sets as cheaper than a box..

[@ScoutCrafter]

Bob, I think by the 1970's tool rolls were on their way out and gave way to the hours clamshell packaging!

[@bertalicea2397]

Very lucky, awesome find! 👍 👍 I definitely would have taken that chance too.

Hi Bert! Now a days eBay will back you up.. Years ago you were on your own! LOL 15 years ago If I called eBay and told them I received a Brick in a piece of canvas they would have said "You did receive the item but the description was bad" LOL Thanks Bert!

That pistol grip screwdriver is HOT! Nice score! I'm gonna try to get up to Jacktown tomorrow and get out before the big storm!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello 357! Unfortunately I can't make it tomorrow, the weather is going to be crap by me and even if I did make it there ok the trip home thru NJ is a nightmare when it isn't snowing! LOL I think Steve F might be going too! I always got great deals at the Winter show in Jacktown!!!! I hope you can get there!!!! Thanks N!!!

[@PDX53]

I just love tool rolls and the tools are in "near mint" condition. I need to check out eBay. Good job Scout.

[@ArmandoLoni]

Good to see you left the 'patina' on the canvas, J!! 😉

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello AL! You know the canvas has such a wonderful smell!!! I remember that smell as a scout when we had the older canvas tents and would have to fold them after a camping trip! =) Thanks so much!

[@mardeeda]

That circle (H) is unbelievable. What a jackpot or what huh?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Daniel! I was really amazed by the shape of all the tools! Plus I was amazed I didn't get scammed! LOL Thanks Daniel!!!

Hello D&R! I bet it's illegal in NYC!!!!! LOL Thanks so much!!!

[@illupgravengaard9275]

Outstanding score ! Every thing looks over the top condition wise.. Screw drivers are Crème de la Crème .. and the ratchet driver one of the finest

[@ScoutCrafter]
