Garage Finds from Dad’s Garage

[juliosz]

My dad passed in 1997, mom passed this last February. We’re in the process of cleaning out her house and all of my dads stuff is still there, tools and such. Here’s a pic of a couple items I remember vividly from when I was a kid. Item 1, the Geiger creeper. My dad typically worked on the family cars on Saturday mornings and I would always go to the auto part store with him. One Saturday morning, we parked to go into the store and he found $5 in the street. My dad was a pretty thrifty guy and wouldn’t typically buy himself a luxury item like a creeper but I guess he figured why not throw in a little of his money and splurge a little. Item 2 was picked up at the same auto part store as they were giving these away and my dad got one. I was able to talk him into letting me use it to store my model car paints and glue. Please feel free to share anything of yours that came from Dad’s garage.
