Bought this Gedore VW tool kit (model 1600) at a swap meet a few years back (Sydney, Australia). A real flukey buy.
Anyone seen kits like it? Its obviously workshop speciifc. Seems to be dated about 1961 to 1963 (from the paperwork inside). Nice cartoon of a workshop with split window bugs on the inside cover.
Kit is in really good used condition for its age but missing what looks like a 13mm socket and a pair of pliers. Anyone have anything that would match? It would be nice to complete the kit.
The lid of the toolbox is stamped Original Gedore 1600. All of the tools are stamped Gedore Made in Germany. Many of them are stamped with the 1600 model number and then another number - which presumably refers to the tool code in the 1600 Model range. Some of them have a different code which I presume relates to the run of the mill tools that fit the purpose for the kit.
If anyone wants more pictures for the purpose of making a catelogue of these kits let me know and I'll put more pictures on my photobucket website or if the administrators want to start up a stick on these types of toolkits I'll post them on STF.
