this thread just jogged my failing memory. i wound up with my grandfather's machinists trunk, full of reamers, taps, dies, thread gauges, and some hones. there's a little leather pouch in it full of various sizes and shapes of slipstones. he repaired shoe machinery equipment for united shoe in marlborough mass. the one thing i wish i still had that my father found in the trunk after his dad died was a Baby Browning, which he traded for a high end engraved ithaca 12 ga double, and which i eventually traded to a gun nut for car repairs.
