Came in a fitted clamshell type glasses case along with the original box. Judging by the age of the box and paperwork, I would think its from the 1950's or 60's; anyway Happy Day !
Very nice score, Mike! I would much rather own and use the older tools. I started in the tool and die trade in 1979 and bought most of what I use today then. I have handled the newer stuff and for the price is does not compare.
UPS dropped my latest addition off today. A Bridgeport 90 degree head attachment. I have often wanted one and have some upcoming work coming that it will really come in handy for.
