Tool Chest Identification Needed
Many years ago, a large tool chest was dropped off at the Society’s former storage area at St. Andrew’s Road. It was too heavy and large for the museum so it remained in storage. Unfortunately, this one particular item was not documented when it arrived. It is an 1870s carpenter’s chest or jointer’s chest (we’re not sure which) and there are several drawers for small tools and a large section for hand saws. We would like to know its provenance, whether it belonged to someone in Scarborough and who gave it to the Society. If any member has information about this large tool chest, please contact the Society’s Archives at 416-995-6930
