Derk: Craftsmen is the tool brand controlled by Sears, and according to Wikopedia has been making tools since about 1927. Not sure if they were making them in Canada, but US tooling certainly would have found it's way up here.

Found a few more items for my carrier in a shed Rob,Laun & I were in today.
The starting crank rod for my carrier.I had made one up but it always bugged me I didn't have an original one and now I do! I also found one more track pin to complete the 6 needed for my tool list.Another good find was the socket BB 17033 B that I needed for my carrier tool list.Thanks to Rob who identified it to me and made me realize I was still looking for that one.At the bottom of a pail was a brass cap for a flimsy and it just happens that I need one for a 2 gallon I have that was missing the cap!
I also found a jack that I believe is for the WWII jeep.Maybe a jeep purist can confirm this for me.I did an internet search and viewed the images and some show a rectangular base plate and some show the square base that I have.
Regards,Derk.

Derk your Jeep jack looks right, although mine has a slightly different top? Your bras cap looks to be from a standard 2 gallon fuel/oil/water can. A Flimsy is a 4 gallon can (pre Jerry can). The cap would have a male thread. I've been looking for a Flimsy to add to my collection for over 25 years. Ron

I had a look at the one I found on the same day and brought in the NSN tag from it. NSN for the wrench is 5120-21-109-0540. When I look up that part number in the old microfiche, it relates to Ford part number BB17033-C, so technically our wrenches were cataloged wrong. That said, without the Ford drawings, it is hard to know what the design change was from the B you have to the C the fiche lists.

Looking forward to more finds out there in the future. But we have to know the good times won't last forever.
