I have been thinking about my grandfather's two chests. He was a craftsman, worked at the very early Fisher Body in Detroit, also made an altar for a local church in Freesoil/Manistee Michigan area, where my grandmother (his wife) came from. My grandfather was born in 1876, (I have his baptismal papers from then, beautiful, with color seal & looks like it might have printed just a few years ago). My dad always kept his dad's chests. Most of the tools he used are inside the two chests, (though dad had put a few in during the 1960s). I never met my grandfather as he passed away from hernia surgery in 1935.
I have several pictures of both chests. I don't know what they are worth. I did find blueprints for a home in Detroit, that I took out, not sure it was one of his residences or perhaps a home he may have worked on for someone else.
But here are a few pictures. I will post four from the first, smaller chest & the next thread will be from the second chest. I would be interested in what they might be worth & where I could sell them.
