I found this old creeper and had to buy it. I'm guessing it to be about 40-50 years old. It's a "Checker Auto Parts" creeper. It will just serve as wall art for my garage. Its cool to me because my 1st real job was a parts guy at Checker Auto (on Scottsdale Rd & Thomas) back in the day. I worked for Checker Auto for about 7 years and managed a few of their stores in the east valley.
Anyway, found this creeper and had to have it..... who knows, maybe I was the one who sold it back in the day...
Other than cars, what do you have for vintage garage stuff hanging around your garage?

Re: Vintage finds
Nice.
When we were doing the estate sale at my parent's place I snagged my dad's vintage wood creeper and sold my HF creeper, which was getting flat spots on the soft wheels. I actually used it a couple weeks ago.
I also brought home my grandfather's machinist's chest and an old crescent wrench with his initials stamped into it.
