Yes Rick
I didn't spot you there !
The guy initially didn't want to sell it .. he said "it holds my spanners" I looked somewhat desperate and offered him $15 . He relented and then his family came over to see what all the fuss was about . I ran off with the box. Although it's dated 1972 ... the box goes back to the early 1950's era.
BTW a guy there had a lot of stuff from a deceased estate..he had a box full of NOS bearings - Timken taper rollers and such..he was selling them for $2 each !
