A Vintage Car or Carriage Tool Box

1900 - 1920

Sold by The Antique Partnership

Description

A vintage car or carriage tool box with step inset within a polished brass frame. Substantially made in mahogany in the same form of a later Model T metal box this was probably mounted on the running board of a very early vintage car. There are four holes in the base where the box was mounted on the running board. The interior shows signs of oils toos having been stored within.

The step inset is made of an early form of rubber matting and is original. The hinges are of substantial brass as is the lock and escutcheon which is secured with tiny brass screws. The exterior of the box is covered in a thick very dark paint which is as expected chipped and scratched but again is original.
