My father-in-law gifted me with about 5 (Kennedy) boxes of tools that had belonged to his step-father. Most of
the tools are loose in the drawers but have been easy to clean up. The gentleman retired in the mid 70s so these
tools have seen little or no use in nearly 40 years. My question is, it there a good (best) way of dealing with
the old Starrett boxes?
This is one of several. I've cleaned the boxes but I'm wondering if there is something that can be applied to
preserve the surface. They are quite dry, not brittle yet!
I guess another question to go along with that is, what were these cases covered with?
Thanks,
