Greetings. Love the work! I also have one of these (got it in an auction for $40, with all the machinist tools) and your post has been a God-send; I've been wanting to restore it and haven't had a clue as to how, until now. I wonder, can you tell me how you removed the rivets, drawer pulls, lid...

Mother of Pearl! One can only imagine how ripped the guys that had to use those wrenches must have been. Well, I guess, more likely it would have been multiple worker hoisting those things.

I have a Wright Tool 6-point socket set with round head ratchet that I LOVE and got for a song. I'm kind of jealous of your collection there! Honestly, I'm a weekend mechanic that works on woodworking machines as well as my 1966 2-door Chrysler New Yorker and can't claim to be a professional...

That sure looks like the front and back of a Cornwell ratchet, no? Edit: did not see Franzdom's post before I posted this reply.
