The verdict is in.
Tool geeks and those not so geeky too,
Here is a confirming data on what we already know about 73.5 tool kits: Selected Special Steel Wrenches, Reversible Screwdriver; Hepewe Pliers, Tie bag (missing ties as they often are). This is from a highly original T Targa just now on eBay. If this was a couple years ago, the car would be sold by now; not mine; solid car withTTG lights, sports seats, factory air-needs full fairly easy (the body does look good) resto. Happy Thanksgiving!

901 ers and early 911 ers,
Here is one of several pictures of the 901 prototype 13325 from late 1963 posted by member "haul". Note the heavy black vinyl tabbed bag. We can't see the inside color, so this may be a re-purposed 356C bag but it shows, at least, the intention to use a tabbed bag in early 911s. Here is a link to haul's post. Thanks.

Hi Steve, You're right 73.5 is not the best, nor accurate for that matter, since RSs had the "73.5 kit." Maybe just 1973 kit would be better. Yes, the scruffy kit apparently is missing its spark plug wrench but otherwise looks indicative. Correctly dated fan belts are the icing on the cake for some tool kit guys and for early 356 kits, for example, they can sell for $100s of dollars. There are also vendors making early dated reproduction fan belts for the 356. Thanks.

Post #16 in this thread shows two '65 bags w/riveted clasps stamped IKA 1794 without tabs. I've also got a '65 bag that came from an original owner with the same clasps and no tabs. Same texture outside as in post #16, inside color a bit different. Quite sure it's an original 1965. That's at least three data points w/o tabs.
Also - Another example, Soterik posted this one of a 901 bag with a 12mm spark plug wrench. Riveted clasps, slight texture to the bag, and no tabs.

Re. Bags with rivets on clasps guys,
Did I miss something? I don't know that anyone posted that riveted clasps meant the bag had tabs? Did we? I've had many bags with rivets; some with tabs and many w/o. Thanks.

Hi Bruce, Not sure what your point is. All SWB kits should have a spark plug wrench in 10mm or 12mm, the 12mm was NOT unique to 901 kits. Did you read that somewhere.?But IMHO 901 bags did have Clasps with tabs. The pictured bag, therefore is NOT a 901 bag, however it sure is a 911 bag ! Thanks.
