Estate Auction Tools from Last Monday

[Chillylulu]

I picked these tools at an estate auction and received them last Monday.  I have a lot of pictures, so I woll post in groups with descriptions.

Overall picture of boxes full of tools:



Cedar chest, smells good:


Cool toolbox, its handle locks to the other half of the lid when lifted, so you can't dump the tools accidently:


Detail of one of the two latches:


Picture of the latches and the slots that recieve them:


Opened fully:


Kennedy toolbox with cantilevered lift tray:


These tend to stick when opening, one of the hinges grabs. I'll clean the rust off and give it a shot of oil. Inside lid label:


This toolbox needs a little TLC to restore it to its former usefullness. Exterior hardware:



More to follow.......

You have a huge start on those tool sets for your kids. Good haul.

This is the 7th or 8th like it, along with dozens of 10-50 piece hsuls in the last 4 or 5 months.  My son brought in anoyher load, not so big but a lot more mechanics tools and 6 or 7 tool boxes from Wichita this Monday night.

The idea for the kids sets, at least in part, was to answer my Wife's questions ss what exactly was I getting this stuff for. I couldn't just say "Because it is such a good deal."  On this lot I spent maybe $100 plus shipping.
