Socket wrenches
Holy moly....your right. I googled Walter P. Chrysler tools and found something....I bet those are worth a fortune.
They used to have that box on display at the Chrysler Tech Center (CTC) for a while.
And yeah, I've read some of the history of Walter P. Chrysler. He was an amazing businessman. Built his company to be the largest in the world by 1934 from saving a company that was one million dollars in the hole in 1926.
He started out sweeping floors at a local train station. He was facinated by mechanical things and used to watch the mechanics set the valves on the locomotives. He learned how to do it himself and got the reputation of being the fastest at setting the valves. If a train needed an "adjustment" that was behind schedule, they called Walter to get them back running ASAP. He was "the man".... :cheers:
Then saw a car at the New York auto show and took a $3 k loan out to buy it and took it apart and reassembled it over 1000 times. He also paid back the loan early.
Then many years later the bankers asked him to save Allis Chalmers Motors which was about 1 million in debt back in 1924. He had them making profit in a couple of years.
They then asked him to save Maxwell Motors in 1926 as it was also about 1 million in debt. He redesigned the new model and had them in production in 1928 which he then turned into Chrysler Motors.
A true American hero... :prayer:
