This Castle Oil drum is currently in Japan, and I'm not so sure it's gonna make its way over the pond. Would be nice though, it's a beauty. Had to share the pics, 'cause I think many out there appreciate it as much as I do.

That would look amazing sitting in the corner of the museum. @cruiserdan

@dmamj which is older ? I’m thinking the green was the first of this style and the grey is the latest and even current box

 

[dmamj]

@lp2k , yup that’s right Leon. The green box was available from at least 1981 (maybe earlier - I don’t know for sure). Color changed to gray in an unknown year. I suspect late 90’s or 00’s, but I have nothing to substantiate that. I feel the older steel TEQ box is far higher on the coolness scale, but this type outranks it in utility.

Thanks @dmamj - keep me in mind if you come across a toyota motors 5 wrench set with the clip for my toyota motors box and any 10mm or 12mm in 3/8 short for toyota motors (no engravings)

 

[dmamj]

Will shoot you a pm about the wrench set Leon .

Saw this pop up if anyone wants a Toyota sign:

Toyota - collector sign - collectibles - by owner - sale

Collectable Toyota sign for a barn, garage or basement wall. The ultimate Toyota Sign! If you have the room this would be awesome! It was mounted to a wall. This is the sign "skin" big, but not...

Back on topic. Here's a mid-to late 50's small steel driver kit that should contain more bulbs, fuses, points, electrical tape, and a few other things I couldn't make out from the parts list. 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2". Nicely stamped both TEQ and TOYOTA MOTOR. Last pic shows it next to the old steel tool box for scale.

Hey Dan, here's your Driver Kit box pictured in a 1960 Toyopet Dyna RK95 Owner's Manual.

@jblatz that is excellent info. Appreciate the enlightenment. I would have bet it wasn’t later than 1959. Those old Toyota manuals sure come in handy!

There was previous discussion about Toyota’s choice of bulb manufacturer. The bulb pictured above is Stanley. Stanley has shown up in other applications rather than Koito. Was Koito originally just for headlights and tail lights, and Stanley for accessories?

Many interior bulbs are also Koito. Curious where Stanley fit in the picture too!

This little memo book is old enough to be the father of the two in post 518 and 519. Comes in its own presentation box, but does not come with a pencil.

This small box is similar to the other “Toyota Accessories” boxes, just slightly smaller and earlier. The HA-1 was the first sewing machine model produced by Toyota, beginning in 1946 if I’m not mistaken. Presuming the box was produced at that time also. The “TOYOTA” font matches the sign in the last pic.

Dan,

Toshiba was the OEM for the torpedo lamp bulbs.

Needed some subject matter to test out the new light box. It really works well for a cheapy. Pics below were without any touch up. Get it? I’m here all night.
