Here's a pic of the Threshing Flail I picked-up with the side-by-side- sure looks authentic to me?

Eagleye-

You are making me jealous! I am a good and veteran antique picker and seller but want to say you are coming up with some neat stuff!

I am drooling over that tool chest!

Is that a flail for wild rice?

It is cool looking.

I’m in envy of your organization! Happy trapping! ScottW

I would buy that Tool chest from you...PM me if it's for sale

it would be my Wife's Christmas present

I won’t show you the other one- my Dad was a tool & die maker, I gave my son my his Gerstner & Sons Journeyman’s box- it was waxed 2x a year since my Dad owned it. The Gerstner in the pic was given to me by the owner of the first company I worked for as an engineer- when I left he said- I want you to have this, you’ve been a better son to me and will appreciate it more than my boys. Look at how thin the yesteryear’s version of the machinery handbook was- all full of his tools also.

Very nice piece for sure. Old books are great. I have a book from the Gault Machinery Company in Ontario. 1908 edition all hi gloss paper for there wood working Machinery beautiful book with the envelope and letter sent out with it to the customer.

I like those tool chests but they are too small. I now have a large modern stand up one on wheels that I keep my machine tools in. This one sits on top and just has the taps and dies in it that I don't use on a regular basis.






That flail looks pretty authentic to me and am sure was not owned by Bruce Lee in the past
