we were visiting my mom in ohio last weekend, hit a couple of thrift stores, and a couple of antique stores.

found this in an antique store, never saw anything like it before, a folding mitre box.
for $3

it a wood miter box, it actually folds up to about half it's size..


for cutting 90* & 45* angles for wood trim.

It looks interesting.

i thought it was kinda cool, and had never seen anythig like it before,
it's USA made, and for $3 how could i go wrong, even if i never use it?
