Tool kit
set of tools in a leather wallet; eleven tools in all and one handle; ten of the tools designed to fit in to the handle; remaining tool is a pair of pliers, used without the handle; tools consist of a hamer, saw, chisel, corkscrew, file, scredriver, a drill bit, ruler, needle, and a gimlet
the wallet folds in half and is held shut by two poppers. Two rectangles of soft fabric extend from one end of the wallet that can be folded back over the tools to stop them rubbing when the wallet is closed. The surface of most of the tools is scratched as if they had been cleaned with wire wool just before being donated to the museum. The wallet has been repaired with copper wire [RP; 13/03/2009]
