The contents include various measuring and marking instruments such as a wooden four-fold rule, two marking gauges, and a wooden-bodied spirit level with a brass faceplate. Boring tools consist of a traditional hand brace, an egg-beater style hand drill, and a variety of drill bits including auger, twist, and flat centre bits, some marked Made in England. Edged tools comprise multiple chisels with turned wooden handles and brass ferrules, along with assorted plane irons. Additional items include files, rasps, a metal saw-set, a metal hacksaw frame marked Made in England, and carpenter’s pencils, one marked Made in England Cumberland Blackedge No 218 Soft.
