No its a deer
Worked on a few of those in my old business.

nope, not a deer, a scag
I responded to a CL ad the other day and told him I couldn’t meet until today. He said he was attending an antique tool swap meet so we met there. It was a small event and I was kicking myself I didn’t bring more cash. Anyway, afterwards we went to his house and I picked up a sine plate, Jo Blocks, and a 5C collet block set. He threw in a hardbound book, Turret Lathe Operator’s Manual. I don't have a turret lathe but I like to read and it has good info in it.

I got 6 nice metal cabinets with small drawers for drills and bits and everything else, on a nice stand on wheels with a pull out work table at an auction. I also got a nice small jeweler's torch, gauges and tanks set full of oxy/acet. a very good day.

most people shy away from these shallow metal drawer cabinets cause they don't think they are good for anything but record cards.
I have gutted all the insides of the drawers of the extra metal pieces and all the spring wires that hold and space the cards. now they are clear 8 1/2'' by 22'' by 1" for all my small bits and drills and taps and measuring tools and all my cap screws and set screws and keystock and machine screws and anything small needing a drawer. you know what I mean.
I came up with approx 4800 of the nice spring sreel wires that I will find a use for or I could sell them for 10 cents apiece or a dozen for a dollar and get rich. each drawer also had two extra pieces of 8 1/4"x5 1/4"x.025 steel. one with a piano hinge. these I will find uses for other projects.
