June 3, 201510 yr I was out the other afternoon and drove by a place getting ready for a yard sale. Got out and walked up and was told to look around. I saw this great looking old tool chest under a table and looked at the price. I ask them if this was correct? Really $5.00 for the chest and the contents. Right off I could see a wooden moulding plane and all kind of bits for a bit and brace drill. There were some small rulers in still in the boxes and a jar of corks. It had a little hidden tray that you pull up and it had a old cast plumb bob and several other items. Well for $5.00 I had to take it home and Steve it didn't come from Ohio while I was passing through there. I love finding old treasures. The lady told me it was her grandfathers old tool chest. I told her I was a woodworker and she said well it was meant to be that you would stop and get it.
