I thought about buying that one myself! Very cool whatever it is.
Awesome set!
Any value to indicate these wrenches, have an offset of (dont quote me) of maybe 60 degrees?
My wife nags at me when she sees my tool box draw and says why so many wrenches, I had to demo each one has various arcs (0, 15, 60 degrees) to catch fasteners in tight spots.

The 75mm shank wood-handled slot tip (top) and 100mm Phillips (bottom) with TOYOTA MOTOR on the ferrule were included in early 1970’s Land Cruiser tool rolls. They were also available for purchase separately from Toyota’s 1971 Standard Tool Catalog and marked for retail sale with stickers. Tools in vehicle kits were void of retail stickers.
Also available from the ‘71 catalog was a 100mm slot tip (middle). This is the first example of that particular driver I’ve seen in person. To my knowledge it was not included in any vehicle tool kit. One additional wood-handle retail screwdriver was available - a 75mm Phillips. It is not shown below and has also proved to be exceptionally elusive.

An addition to the wood-handled drivers pictured above, a 10mm wood-handled nut driver was also available for purchase from the 1971 Standard Tool Catalog. Like the screwdrivers of this era, TOYOTA MOTOR is stamped on the ferrule.
Two 150mm square shaft screwdrivers with hard red rubberized handles were also available for retail sale, a slot tip and a Phillips. The two Phillips pictured below are slightly diffferent. One is stamped “ALL HARD” on the shaft, the other is not.

This is the second non-Land Cruiser canvas tool roll I’ve come across (all others I've seen are vinyl). It is more similar to a Land Cruiser roll than the one in post #569 of this thread.
Didn’t have any tools when it arrived so I stocked it up with old Toyota tools I feel it may have had originally. Not sure which vehicle it came out of either.

Here is a car wash kit, an optional accessory from the late 80s or early 90s. I suspect late 80s because of the lack of the new Toyota logo which came out in ‘89. Each item has a genuine Toyota part number, even the Simoniz wax. I thought the collapsible bucket was pretty cool. Nice vinyl Toyota bag too. The 40 series tool bags from the 70’s to 80’s also used a YKK zipper. This kit may have been JDM only. Fun stuff.
nah from a toyota truck
The Stout is a Toyota truck
more of a ute in my books im talking about the FA/BA toyota truck

This has surfaced in previous posts, but this is the first I've seen that comes with its original box which tells a little more of the story. As you can see in one of the Google Translate screen shots, this is the "Key to Happiness". Evidently they were made in 1978 as a "Thanks to you" for "10 years of domestic passenger car sales in Japan '69 - 78". It may have been available before and after that for other Corolla promo purposes, but don't know. Big key, 6 1/2” long. Just thought it was kind of cool to know exactly what one of its intended purposes was.

Toyota also made hundreds of SSTs. Don't collect many of them, but do like the wrench-types. This one is 09631-22020 for power steering hose installation and removal. Interesting how both are marked 09631-22020, but the reverse sides say “1/2" and "2/2". Most sub-pieces in the SSTs have different part numbers. Don’t know why they didn’t use exclusive part numbers for them.

This mantle world clock recently came from the Aichi prefecture in Japan. It's a commemorative piece, marking the anniversary of the 50 milionth unit made by Toyota on January 17, 1986. The third picture is screenshot of the translation. The link below takes you Toyota's global website with more information on the milestone, other production milestones, and production numbers in general. Interesting how trucks and buses dominated Toyota's production for the first 30 years through the 1960's, then the 1970's saw the pendulum swing dramatically to passenger cars.

Pretty cool piece. The shroud is made of brass and the clock is enclosed in glass, not plastic or acrylic. Base is wood with a felt bottom. It tells time in a few dozen zones around the world, has the international date line, and also indicates daytime/nightime. The little red car at the end of the second hand is a nice touch.
