Didn't see a price, so I can't give a 'you ****'.

But that is a nice mess of tools. A little TLC goes a long way in that vintage chest.

That is all kinds of awesome. I love the old used patina over everything there. I wouldn't do anything to the box unless absolutely needed.

I thought I saw an old Prince Albert tobacco can like that on Auction Kings in much worse shape go for more than you paid for this whole kit…

Very Nice Score! Wanna trade off that ball pein hammer on the top?

I dig the cupholder on the side and the chain stop for the lid too. Very custom additions!

What does the sign on the right side say?

Hello. Woolworth, may I help you?

Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Yes we do.

Well you better let him out before he suffocates.


hahaha, good times. Nice score on that kit.

That perfect handle style ball peen is a gem.

Saw some real handy tools in that bunch. Thread file, tubing cutter, auto wire strippers and brass punch to name a few that are not often thought of.

Nice old box.

You did well enough to ****!!

Very interesting stuff from "way back" and a nioce small size box. It's not a beer can holder, beer was bottled back then; that bracket is to hold an oil can pumper. I had one a long time back mounted to the work bench, my dad bought it. It came with a Plews oiler.

There's an old plomb box like that at an antique shop i go to, and they want 90$ just for the box without tools. I think you did well.
