Violin Makers Forms and Clamps  Be sure to look at the other pics.  I do not see any makers names like Stradivarius or the like, but there are stamped numbers indicating they were manufactured or used for different sizes.       Click for Pic        Click for Pic       CYNMT-1

Carpenters Tool Box   This is a nice looking and well made carpenters tool box with 3 sliding trays.  I would guess it dates from just after the turn of the century given the vintage of the tools found inside the construction of the chest and other details.  It measures just over 38" long and stands about 18" tall.  The majority of the tools that remain came with the box and it has not been altered other than to take out a set of chisels that were held in the lid, a set of auger bits which have been listed elsewhere separately, and a few other pieces.   There is a carpenters log book in here from the 20's that was original to the box.  There are a some nice tools remaining and if you see something you want separately we can pull it out.

Sash / Molding Templates / Patterns   I am not sure exactly how they were used.  Perhaps as a guide like a mitre box or with a mitre box when cutting window sash or other things to size.   The famous west Coast Tool Dealer Alan Foster sold these to the old timer back in the 70's.  Not something you see very often.      CYNMT-7

Decorative Shaper cutters   This is a very detailed and small size shaper cutter set-up.  It must have been made for very small moldings.  It looks to have seen little if any use.     Click for Pic
