I'd say a 'machinist' owned that.

My jaunts to Boeing Surplus yielded similar about 10 years ago. All those bitty things ran about 25 cents to a dollar. Not much in the pictures was over $5. Most stuff was sold by the pound.

Fun stuff if you can use it.

If you have no plans for the tap & die stuff we should use it. Let me know the price.

I'm Kermit the Frog green with envy. Those adjustable parallels are something I've been looking for.

Nice score! Those chests are still made today in Dayton, Ohio. They even offer restoration services on their older chests. http://gerstnerusa.com/restoration-and-repair
