Title: O.P. Schriver tool box
Post by: junkfisher on October 19, 2015, 08:58:16 PM

    Howdy. It's been quite a while since I've logged in, although I do pop in just to check the daily quotes from time to time. I just came across a cylindrical tool box about the size of a tube of grease. Red letters on white background. I.X.L. TOOL BOX. It has a cast iron adjustable handle with several attachments like a small chisel (still quite sharp!) a tack claw, saw, etc. at the bottom it says manufactured by O.P. Schriver Co.  The only reverence I could find was an article in "The Iron Age" Nov 27 1902, page 65. Seems it is a souvineer item.  I have misplaced the cord to my camera somewhere in the back hole I call my work shop. I will find it and share pics tomorrow.
  Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong category but it didn't seem to fit in any of the specific pages. If anyone has any info on this please reply. thanx
