And, always curious about tool rolls and tool.

Thanks Tim ! I hope you do not mind, I moved your photos and text over to the trunk page started a few days ago. Interestingly, the strap looks to be made of a different material than an Auburn (I will have to look more close). I think the buckle on the tool strap may be partially bent. Sidenote: Tim's car was my first ride in 36/37 Cord.

I am not quite clear on the 2 lined burlap photos (with rulers) from Tim Gilmartin. Are BOTH supposed to be original, or is only the wider lined one original? The finer lined one looks too new and crisp to be original to me.
