Both tin boxes for Model T Diamond Tire Outfit 1909-13
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 10:15 am
Very rare DIAMOND Tire Repair Outfit tin boxes. I am not offering this for sale with both the large outer tin box and the small inner box that held the patches. This include the following two tin boxes:
1) This is the large (12 1/2" long x 3 1/2" wide x 3" tall) lithograph tin box that held the smaller pieces of the tire repair outfit. These were purchased by Ford to include as part of the early toolkit. I believe these were used from 1909 to 1913. They began making their own FORD brand outfit about 1914. It is difficult to find one with the paint in good condition. It came off rather easy and this is one of the better ones I have seen. (The background items shown in the photos are not included.)
2) The small inner tin box that held the patches in the Diamond Tire Repair Outfit. It fits inside the outer box.
$265.00 (free shipping)
==========================
This is a very rare item. The only MTFCA discussion I could find on the subject was this one

Also, here is a photo of another Diamond Repair Outfit with the contents. This is for reference only and NOT for sale.
