I am in the final stages of the restoration of a deluxe 1930 model A roadster and am looking for a wooden case to display the model A tools. I know that Don Turley used to make these cases but has since stopped. Does anyone
currently make these cases? Also does anyone know exactly where the tools and pouch were placed in this car (eg under the front seat or somewhere in the rumble seat area) when it came from the factory? Thanks fro your help.

Sewall Tylor makes these for the suppliers from Don's plans. Excellent quality work and great to deal with. Here is the post with my tools. His contact info is in the sticky.

I echo MLP623. I purchased 2 beautiful boxes from Sewall Tyler. They are absolutely great. They also comes with a very nice cover that protects it. Worth every penny!

Thanks to all for your help. I did contact Bratton's and they no longer carry the wooden tool case. I also sent an e-mail to Sewall Tyler and am waiting to hear from him. Also any information relative to where the tools were located when the 1930 deluxe roadster was built would be appreciated (eg in the pouch, under the front seat or somewhere in the rumble seat). Again thanks to all of you for your help.

I had an email from Sewall Tyler's son today. Sewall had a stroke last week and will no longer be making the boxes. However, his son may be making them soon, but not until he gets family matters taken care of.

I am attaching a photo of one of my earlier boxes with the tools arranged.
The photo on the MAFCA web site is also my photo.

So Sorry to hear about Sewall's stroke. I wish him a quick recovery. If his son continues to make them and someone gets word, please let us know. My best to Sewall's and his family.
