Found: Joh Engstrom's Tool box? You be the judge. Barrel kni

[Doug_I]

I found this toolbox with some things from my father, after he passed in 1997. I just uncovered it again in the back of my storage unit, and decided to take a better look. What I found was some hand made tools, some marked with J.E. and a barrel knife. 56 pictures have been taken, if there are any need for more just ask. I am excited about this find, but I want to know for sure so any help here would be appreciated. I have also sent these pictures to Per Thoresen and asked his opinion.
thanks for looking.
Doug

Here is the link to the 56 pictures

That would be very hard to prove, unless you are directly related.

Those look like carpenter and mechanic tools, not what a cutler would use.

I would agree;in addition to the augers,the tool sitting on top of them is for setting the teeth on a saw(I believe).I have several pairs that I got out of old carpenter's tool boxes.
