I sent Josh a similar email off list yesterday, as one who's also in the
thoroughly skeptical camp. Some tools look original to the box, but those white
dividers and the screws really stick out. Maybe they're ivory or something…but
not all of the tools look as if they fit.

Isn't the hacksaw actually a coping saw? I thought I'd seen a patent for one
like that, where the chain is to keep the blade from twisting.
