Artifact Overview
In 1916, Kirke R. Wilson opened a Ford repair garage in Buffalo, New York. Disappointed with tools available at the time, he began making custom instruments designed specifically for his work. In 1920, Wilson opened a factory and began selling his tools and equipment to other Ford dealers and garages -- the start of a long and profitable relationship.
