In manufacturing settings, "tool checks" were often issued to employees to facilitate centrally coordinated tool cribs. The tags were used to track which employees were using the stock of tools, gauges, and equipment required for day to day operation of the facility. The Tucker Corporation manufacturing plant used such a system, and original tool tags are now extremely rare and highly collectible. Using an original tool check as a guide, Preston Tucker LLC has recreated a modern example of the famous Tucker Corporation tool check in the form of a key chain. The recreation tool check features the same font and text location with black back filled text. Although the original tool checks only featured text on one side, the Preston Tucker LLC tool check features the pictured text on both sides. Please also note that several variations of the numbers and letters on the tag were created so you may receive a different number than pictured. |
