Here are the contents of my 1974 paramount tool kit. I have only used this tool set maybe 3 times.

A. One woodgrain brown pouch "Schwinn Paramount owner's manual and tool kit" on the outside. Has plastic closure like a ziplock bag, but zipper is metal.

B. "Schwinn Owner's Manual - Lightweight Bicycles", Copyright 1973, 9.5cm x 19cm, 30 pages + "Owner's Quality Report" (warranty card)

C. One 8x12" heavy plastic bag labeled "Schwinn Paramount Accessory Kit", containing :

1. Campy crank nut wrench (BREV. INTER CAMPAGNOLO), sometimes referred to as the "peanut butter" wrench (bright steel) 2. Campy crank puller (BREV. CAMPAGNOLO dark steel) 3. Campy T-wrench (BREV. CAMP allen and socket combo) (steel) 4. Campy chainwheel nut wrench (World Logo - dark steel) 5. Campy allen wrench ("BREV. CAMP) with large knurled nut on longer part (steel) 6. Campy seatpost wrench (World Logo - bent bright steel) 7. Allen wrench (marked CINELLI - 8mm - gold steel) - 3cm x 13cm 8. Schwinn Approved PAINT STIK "fills in chips and scratches" "Warning: May Cause Eye Irritation" - Patent Pending, 0.2 oz.

P.S. that supposed tool in the lower left hand corner looks like a spare part from the paramount owner that found its way into the tool kit.
