Buyer's Premium:

A vintage multi-drawer metal toolbox, likely constructed from steel, presenting a faded light blue/green painted finish. The toolbox is filled with a comprehensive assortment of hand tools, predominantly from the mid-to-late 20th-century period. The collection includes various wrenches (combination, open-end, adjustable, ratcheting), sockets, hammers (with wood handles), files, pliers, screwdrivers, and precision measuring implements. Tool materials are primarily metal, with some wood and plastic components. Visible manufacturer markings include ELORA, GEDORE SUPER, USAG, STAHLWILLE, SK, and PROTO. Several tools bear material markings such as CHROME-VANADIUM and CROM VANADIUM. Geographic origins noted on some tools include WEST GERMANY and MADE IN ITALY. Within one drawer, a small wooden box is present, marked with Japanese text “かしめ” (kashime, meaning crimping or riveting) and “ハトメ” (hatome, meaning eyelet or grommet), suggesting its contents are related fasteners or tools.
