Blackhawk Nugget bullet toolbox
That's a distinctive shape for a toolbox. From what I've been able to find these sets were first manufactured in the 1930s and on sale through the 1950s, but that's not confirmed, more info welcomed. They are understandably desirable today, these pictures came from an ebay listing a few years ago, the set sold for $1650.

Apparently they featured the "famous 7/16" double-duty drive" and were intended to replace 3/8" and 1/2" drive sizes with one single size and no duplication of sockets . Looking through the literature, their sales strategy seemed to be "Sell Less Tools."

That's interesting. we found a Snap On Midget set a while back with a 9/32" drive system. Who comes up with these ideas?

Thanks for the link, BTW.
"Who comes up with these ideas?" the marketing department obviously. "The customers will come streaming back to us because we're the only source for the propietary parts."

Or someone who is tired of his tools taking a walk.
they also put the Bantam Porta Power sets in the same cases https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/12/blackhawk-nugget-tool-boxes-first.html
