Walter Chrysler's tool box, along with some of the tools and gauges he made himself, while working at Union Pacific as an apprentice machinist at about the turn of the last century. He left the railway business to work at GM before setting up his own automotive company.
I remember spending a good solid hour staring at that toolbox when it was on display in the lobby of Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills. A great piece of history.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see it in person. CEOs were different then :-)
