Description

The listing, antique drafting tools has ended.

This is an ANTIQUE WOODEN BOXED SET OF DRAFTING TOOLS. The wooden box measures 5"x8.5" Tray holding 10 items lifts out to reveal additional storage area with more miscellaneous (loose) drafting items.

from what i can find the date is around 60 -100 years ago in France
can't read maker of box and tools are not marked.

BOX is lovely. It has not been cleaned or reconditioned (Brass hinges, keyhole, and small rectangle on top. Key is included. Inside top of box is a slightly padded, purple satin-like material

TOP TRAY is lined with a faded grayish purple velvet type material. There are 10 nest areas for tools. the ink pen has white, bone/ivory (like) handle

BOTTOM STORAGE AREA, for drafting tools to be placed in it.

Tools appear to be in good condition with no apparent rust or major corrosion. From my reading, wooden boxed sets of drafting tools such as this are very scarce.

studied drafting before everything went the way of computers and autocad. So many memories in that box. Looks like some calligraphy tips also, am I correct? Are there any leads or lead holders?
