This chest does very well to reflect these things we have all but lost with time. The few small hand tools, files, rivet gun, etc., we will inevitably be keeping yet putting to good use in the near future for other such works. Piece is in “as found” condition, heavy and solid built with much love, care, and consideration, wear consistent with age and normal use of time and period. . less
