Old Los Angeles Craftool Building

I looked up the old Los Angeles business white pages from the 50's and 60's. This was the address of the old Craftool location. It's an industrial building, so I guess this was where they made the stamps? Then they moved to Texas. If you're interested in a property, it was for sale last I checked.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who worked there or knows more about the history of stamp making in California.

I'd love to see inside...there are other metalworking shops in the area. I wonder if they plated them here, too. There's something about the CRAFTOOL CO no# chrome plating that seems to hold up so much better than the more recent versions.

I was thinking that, then noticed the ornate bars on the front entrance and windows and that tall gate at the back.  Must be a high crime area now.  I would love to see how it was in the 50s and 60s.
