Restoration of Old Pal Tackle Boxes for Christmas

An old friend request my help to restore his Old Pal Tackle boxes so he can give them to his two grandsons for Christmas.

Old Pal was a line of tackle boxes produced by the Woodstream Corporation from the 1950s to the 1980s in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The Old Pal tackle box appeared on the Television show Emergency! from 1972-1977 and was used as the Drug Box throughout the show. Old Pal tackle boxes came in many sizes and materials, some were metal and the later models were hard durable plastic.

Restoration of the two Old Pal Tackle Boxes required approximately nine hours. Video production was an additional five hours.

All video was captured using an Canon M50 Mark II camera. Editing was done on an iMac with iMovie and Photoshop.
