Aha I could alomost have guessed that.

Was there ever any aftermarket toolboxes for the bed, in the -50s, or did they come later?

Great book, I have it. It is really fun to read and look at pictures of the way things were in the mid fifties.

Hmm

I belive you, but kind of expensive? especially with shipment to Sweden.

Are those new prints or are they original books?

That's an original book, I have never seen a reproduction of any of these Hildy books.

They are rare books.........
