2 Machinist boxes to restore

[Charley Davidson]

I was basically forced into clearing out my Dad's shop and dispersing his stuff, I decided to keep quite a bit myself for sentimental reasons. 2 of the crown jewels of my Dad's stuff were 2 machinist boxes one I bought new as my first machinist box a Kennedy that my Dad ended up buying at a garage sale years later, he recently did a rattle can paint job on it, the second an old Gershner that was given to him by a neighbor with some really old tools in it, it also needs some work but is all original except it's missing the drawer cover/door. I wish I had gotten these with his blessings but I am glad to save them from the other fate had I not stepped in and done what was needed to be done.

If those old boxes could talk what a tale they could tell.

I'll take a guess and say your Machinery's handbook...

Machineries handbook is the correct answer, it even has a hole in the bottom of that drawer to push it up so you can easily remove it. I will cherish them and pass them along to my grandsons
