273702 Dan Beck <drumsandbacon@g...> 2021‑05‑16 Some finds that I need help identifying #photo-notice
Hello Gents,

My father-in-law was an antique dealer and a bit of a hoarder, and over the
years he amassed an entire two-story, two-car garage worth of stuff. He passed
away last June, and my mother-in-law, my wife, and I have been slowly cleaning
out "the barn". Lots of junk (most of the good stuff he sold as he found it) but
also a lot of unusual little and not-so-little treasures. As hand tools are
found, my mother-in-law sets them aside for me. I've been gifted about a dozen
pipe clamps, dividers of all sizes, a large box full of unused sandpaper, pocket
knives, bevels, a couple of mechanic vises, etc. This past weekend I found a
small wooden box and was drawn to it because of the nice dovetail work. When I
opened it I came across all sorts of interesting odds and ends, and I'm hoping
you fine gentleman might be able to tell me what these items are. Here are some
photos:

Thanks,
Dan
