    It’s 18” long and pretty oily. That’s about all I know. A friend persuaded me to hold onto it some years back and I just came across it the other day. I’m guessing it’s getting close to being an antique but not sure…

    What's the inside look like? Could be a carpenter's tool box.

    Definitely a bit small. I have an old carpenter’s tool box and this is definitely quite a bit smaller

    i go to lots of farm auctions . lots of wooden boxes wound up being used for nuts ,bolts and misc in barns and sheds. Regardless of what it started out as;it is probably only worth $5-$10 at the most these days. If you do want to clean it up,use dawn dish soap to scour away grease.

    That’s a great tip! Thank You!

    Yea, there are absolutely no interesting features inside this box…just the inside of the outside and more grease!

    Would guess ca. 1900-10 on the date.
