A Collection of Vintage Hand Tools and Workshop Ephemera Including Senior Service Cigarette Tin - A collection of vintage hand tools and workshop ephemera primarily of 20th-century British origin, housed in a galvanized metal bucket with a wire swing handle. The group includes a large wooden jack or jointer plane constructed from a dark hardwood, possibly beech, with a metal iron and wooden wedge. A manual hand drill is included, featuring a yellow-painted circular gear housing, a black-painted handle, and a metal chuck containing a small drill bit. The assortment further comprises a metal rotary leather hole punch with multiple sized tubes on a revolving head, a cylindrical wooden mallet head, and various other wooden handles and striking tools. Also present are a pair of metal snips with red-coated handles, a pair of metal spring-joint calipers or dividers, and a tool with a green-painted wooden handle. The ephemera includes a rectangular lithographed cigarette tin with a graphic of a sailing ship and text reading SENIOR SERVICE THE PERFECTION OF CIGARETTES. A smaller, heavily rusted rectangular utility tin and a dark, rectangular sharpening stone, possibly oilstone, complete the lot.
