This lot comprises an assortment of woodworking and carpentry hand tools, including chisels, clamps, and files, housed within a black plastic lidded toolbox with yellow latches. The group features a set of five chisels with translucent amber-coloured handles, each handle marked with the characters MARPLES and BEVEL EDGE. Also included is a set of five tools with black tapered handles, a blue-handled tool marked MARPLES, and a tool with a red and black grip marked HOWDENS. A large blue-painted metal G-clamp is present, bearing the cast marks RECORD, 120, and No. 6, nested with a smaller silver-toned metal G-clamp. Further items include two abrasive whetstones set into wooden blocks, a suede and leather tool pouch featuring a black oval adhesive label reading SILVERLINE, a 1/2-inch spade bit, a wooden folding rule, and several files including a flat file with a green and yellow plastic handle. The plastic toolbox includes a removable internal tray. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the items.


Condition report:

All components show signs of heavy professional use. The metal surfaces of the chisels, clamps, and files exhibit oxidation, surface rust, and accumulated shop dust. The translucent amber handles of the chisels show impact marks and scuffing. The black plastic toolbox is heavily scuffed and dusty throughout. The suede tool belt exhibits significant staining, fraying, and wear to the leather components consistent with a construction environment. The wooden folding rule and tool handles show surface grime and general wear. The lot is sold as a used set of hand tools; mechanical condition and sharpness are not tested.
