Antique H. GERSTNER & SON Machinist Chest With Tools and key and related ephemera. Everything is as found in a home in New Mexico. I did use Murphys oul soap to clean the box, then applied Old English. The box has 11 drawers, 10 are lined with the original felt. Iwould say they are in fair condition. The chest itself is very nice with a few finish umperfections but only one split in the wood on the. Right side. I believe it was made with two pieces of wood and they have come apart ...a bit. The original leather covered handle is functional but the keather has come apart a bit. Original hardware and mirror. As for the tools, they are all in good vintage/used shape. This was owner by one gentleman and his name is on some of the tools Everett E Keenon. Some of the makers are The LS Starrett Co., Ames, Athol Machine Co, Craftsman, Stanley, Jacobs Chuck, P & W and more. Some are not marked or i cant read them. As for the ephemera, there are General Electric pention, insurance and emplyees community fun, pay stub from 3-15-59. 2914 second edition American Machinists Handbook by Covin and Stanley. Tool order receipts, journyman association of machinists union books with stamps, vintage Lufkin Tool catalog, The Master System by Huberich, 4 Brown & Sharpe tools decimal equivalents also an empty Brrown & Sharpe wooden box, Union pins as well as a G.E quarter centiry pin. Of course there is a vintage Band Aid box! Please ask questions and I can try to help, everthing pictured is included.
Because of the weight, I will ship the tools separately with insurance on both.
If the shipping cost is less than the $100.00 estimate, i will refund the buyer the difference.
