Screwdriver - Possible Alternate set
This Toolkit came from a 1962 car, and was found in a Blue Tool Bag.
​
It is unclear if the screwdriver set found in this toolkit belongs to a late 1961 356B or to an early 1962 356B.
Discussion: The Long Flat appeared late 1961. The Philips appeared late 1960. Given these two pieces of information, this is most likely a 1961 kit, that carried over until stock was used up into a 1962 car. The set was complete as seen in the photo below (edited March 6, 2023):
The only item added to this for the photo was a NOS spark plug, otherwise, this is a completely original kit. Click on the image to enlarge. (photo taken in 1/2021)
