You got close Gloria but China has it, lead-beater's tools. Mainly flashings etc on roofs.

Snip it and run tools.

Not sure what you mean P. There is snipping and cutting involved. I'd say the kit was 19th century.

Clothlookers.

Dad did a bit of clothlooking after his tackling days. His chief bit of kit was a pair of tweezers with a point in one end. I can't see one in this box.

Sorry no. Nobody is near. Clue, concentrate on snipping and cutting (Add scraping as well...)
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 22 Nov 2019, 08:27
Are they for dissecting something? Scraping bits off to investigate further?

Now you're getting somewhere! It is but as part of a trade or occupation.

Never seen that poem before and I like it! You are of course perfectly correct David. It is the toolbox of a taxidermist, possibly an amateur, a professional would have more but all the basics are there.
Next one?
