- Description
- A small set of drawers for holding tools. Trapezoidal in shape, with the bottom extending out further than the top. Exterior is made of medium-brown wood with a glass window in front. A small metal hook latches up the window, which can be swung outwards to open the chest. The back of the item is made of rough, lighter-coloured wood apparently from a Cream of Oats crate, made by the B.C.-based Brackman-Ker Milling Ltd. Co. The inside of the item contains 6 rows of 38 small wooden boxes, all empty. Each box has a 'dip' in the front to allow it to be pulled out. Some of these boxes have writing on the front (see 'Inscriptions').
