This vintage steel cantilever tool box features an authentic hand-painted inscription on the lid reading "D. Russell No 1 Fitter." Built with a classic multi-tier folding design, it opens using pivoting metal arms to reveal various interior storage compartments, which would have originally housed hand tools and components on a workshop floor.
The tool box retains its original pale grey painted finish, which has weathered over time to develop significant surface rust, paint flakes and staining, particularly around the handle, joints and edges. This robust wear lends the piece a strong industrial aesthetic, making it a distinctive choice for decorative storage, workshop organisation or a unique retail display prop.
