Antique Machinist Tool Box
This a a Machinist wooden antique tool box.
I am not sure of the date it was made.
I was cleaning out my mother in-laws basement 90 years old, it belonged to her father.
He worked for some big companies.
I recall he worked for John Inglis in Toronto which became Inglis appliances and the Sears brand in Canada.
During the Second World War he made the Bren Gun

The thing that amazes me is that while my grandfather was flying escorting convoys from Canada for the RAF my grandmother was working at John Inglis in Toronto as well. She made the barrel for the gun.
On to the tool box.
The box was full of machinist tools and guages. Most I have no idea.
The box had a leather handle on the top (missing)
The front appears to be made of tirger oak, and the bottom of the drawers are lined with a nasty felt.
