The tool check (tool crib) tags show up on ebay for various makes from time to time. Seems several had similar systems for checking out tools. I bought a couple Chevrolet tags too, and there's been an Overland tag listed for a while but I keep hoping for another Willys stamped tag for my spare keys.

The keys were vintage NOS B&S blanks (briggs & Stratton) I bought from a vintage key guy in Ohio. Shouldn't be plated but I couldn't pass on them.

When I bought Old Toby, I was given a pair of keys (ignition and trunk) that had the original key codes stamped into them. Several years later, when I pulled up the rear carpet, I found a second trunk key with the same key code number stamped in it. Lucky find. Diffenrt code for trunk and ignition.
