 That is a nice shoe or did you mean the box ? That is a nice box also.

My mom used to give me heck for not bringing my shows home....

Oh, the box...

Yea, that would have followed me home also. Is it just me? or is it sad that they made better shipping boxes those days than they make furniture these days?

 I like the leather hinges, someone made themselves a tool box out of it....

If only it were full of Kelly axes....

It's not just you.  They DID make better shipping boxes than a lot of furniture is made today.  I picked a tool box up at the dump the first time I went.  Commercial hinges and hasps, but the box appears to have been a shipping crate for Stanley saws.

Oh my goodness...what a coincidence.

Just got this the other day when I went through a load of haul away junk my brother had pulled from a friends shed. I didn't even notice the writing until the next day, as it was getting dark when I was filling it with miscellaneous nuts, bolts, etc.

If you want to find a good home for that one, I know a collector of Kelly Works stuff in the area. He would go nuts to have that. I'm going to give him this one next time I see him. John H. (wvtools) knows who I am talking about. Total Kelly Tool crazy collector.
