No doubt a "carpenter's tool box" A view inside would confirm it, in the UK these are very sort after and good ones can go for big money.
When researching chess sets I find this museum very helpful, I just go through all the countries and styles until I find the one that matches...
I need say no more than Jeff really other than everyone wants their piece to be the best the world has ever seen. Unfortunately this box screams...
Ok I'm a box collector and IMHO I think the box was made in the US or UK around 1920-1950, going by the lock and hinges I would say nearer 1920...
I did think of that but after thinking about it for a while the parallels are only there to prevent the cutting head from fouling the vice, if...

Yep I just tested them to see if they are indeed made from brass and they are not. They are made of spring steel and have a brass coating. Thank...

They seem a bit delicate and easy to bend for that purpose, I'm really at a loss until I can find the same sort of thing with a description of...
I think they must have something to do with drawing but I can't find any like it on the net
I'm sorry I can't, my wife took the photos on her phone before she went to bed but the big photo can be clicked to zoom in if that's any help.
I'm no expert but I do have some knowledge in this field. I think it's lacking in quality and detail of a expensive piece. I think it was made in...
I don't know what the US market is like for globes but in the UK this would be a real bargain for £20, I have been looking for a good globe for...

A close up photo of the lock would help
