my grandfather's tool box. He passed away in 1975... so this is a bit of a time capsule. It became mine after my grandmother passed in 1987.
Grandfather was from Villa Rica, Georgia. He later moved to Escambia County, Florida and met my grandmother and lived there the rest of his life.
this is a tack hammer, for hammering tacks into upholstery.
the head is magnetic and the tack slips into the slit/crack.
ignition set of tools
feeler gauges
fleet brand ratchet, same as the tool box
made in japan
I'm not sure what this tool is used for... something to do with shoeing mules/horses? cutting nails? some folks are saying these are known as 'end cutter nippers'. Others are saying it is for clipping hooves. My mother said my grandmother used it for something with her old foot powered sewing machine... and grandfather would take it to the woods with him when he was cutting a certain type of fence wire.
This picture did not turn out, but the text reads: Winchester <-- logo is the same as the firearm and ammunition company logo(which are separate companies) trademark 2164-54
'westline' branded tools, which I think might have been a private label for western auto supply
a wedge, for splitting wood
what company made the 'wizard' brand?
an ignition points file.
