I also spent some time curating my Starrett Collection, replacing the ratchet on the 224AA 0" — 4" multi-anvil micrometer and cleaning up the wooden case:
The original ratchet would have been bright chrome, but the replacement black one does match the Black Japanning on the frame.
Also cleaned up the case on my recently acquired 196A1Z Set, adding additional storage holes for the extra contacts it came with (and for a future 4-48 adapter):
Finally, I reconfigured my toolboxes, getting all of my Starrett tools into the Kennedy box I picked up earlier this year (shared with my DTI's and some material testing tools):
OK, it doesn't compare with Mr. Pete's collection, but I am starting to worry – I can't seem to walk past a red box without picking it up . . .
