  VINTAGE CLAMPS ARE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION

***These NOS parts were sourced from R.R. LOOCK, we were lucky enough to purchase the recovery rights to this long since closed parts distributer, earlier this year. There was a treasure trove of parts and advertising. There was no working elevator and the buildings were 4 floors tall with a basement, ................................. and they NEVER threw ANYTHING of value AWAY! It took us 2 months, full time, to sort through and we are just now starting to offer what we have found. If you like high quality, great price NOS parts, then look no further than our store by CLICKING HERE. If you are looking  for out of the box advertising, as well as MINT automotive related collectibles, please check out our sister site architecturalrescue by CLICKING HERE I think you will be in for a treat.

R.R. LOOCK Was a Baltimore Institution when it came to Automobiles. They operated at the same location : 339-345 N Gay st from 1913 until the neighborhood declined and the last heir retired in 2001. They were not your ordinary cookie cutter automotive parts store like you see today. They were parts distributors as well as jobbers for their own LIGHTNIN Parts line as well as for most of the top brands of the day. They sold: Auto supplies, Replacement parts, Garage equipment, Shop equipment, Tires, Tubes, Oil, Grease, Accessories  and they even had a Complete Machine Shop. This may not sound different from an auto zone except Loock was responsible for placing products such as Champion Spark Plugs, Quaker State and Gates belts (to name a VERY few products) into EVERY private and municipal garage that used them in a 5 state area. long before the Internet and trade shows, these guys were road warriors that sold stuff the hard way on a massive scale. As the 22 floors of parts and samples that they left behind will attest .............................. thats right ........................... I said 22 FLOORS of samples, parts and advertising! R.R.Loock tried to sell ANY quality product that they thought had a chance . Of course, as jobbers they were responsible for placing advertising in the businesses that they catered to as well.
