The Ford Barn

Does anyone have a photo of their 51A-17005-B tool pouch for a ‘46 Ford or Mercury? The “41-48 Ford Book” restoration guidelines only has a simple sketch and verbal description of the pouch, at 32” x 17.3”. I’m going to see if my wife can duplicate one, and it would help to have something better to go by. I found a picture of a tool kit and pouch that was posted on Fordbarn in 2016 and it doesn’t match the description in the restoration guidelines.

Also, I assume that since I would have my jack in the above pouch, I do NOT need the burlap bag for the jack??? The guidelines have me confused on that point. It states generally that jacks had a burlap bag, but in the summary table of tools by year, there’s no mention of the burlap bag.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
