Estate Sale

[foakes]

Heading home today, I passed by an estate sale.

Picked up a Cornwell top tool box with 12 drawers and the lift up top.

In very good condition.  And full of tools.

Also picked up a Zebco 6020 gold spinning reel, a Wright-McGill trailmaster 6.5' 4 piece rod, in an aluminum tube and in unused condition, plus a 6.5' Kunnan 2 piece rod in new condition.

The tools, box, 2 rods, and  1 reel cost me a $100 bill.

Took 3 guys to lift the box into my truck.

I don't know much about Cornwell tools or boxes —- but it is certainly well made and a quality box.

Best, Fred

You did very well with the box alone at that price.

Cornwell tools, if made in the USA were from the Ohio and PA region and were very nice tools.  It looks like you have mix of tools there, I see some Craftsmen and some others (sockets) that look like they might have been made in Taiwan.  I believe Cornwell did inport some of their tools from Taiwan and China as well.

Quite the impressive find.

I don't know if Cornwell is still in business but they made good tools.

   Now that is a much better deal than the last mini tool boxes earlier this year. Even if the the box was empty.
