Back in 1984 my 84 year old neighbor gave me this tool box that originally6 was fixed on the running board of her Father's pre WW1 Metallurgique, a large Rolls Royce like car made in Belgium, along with the 100 year old photo taken by her Father, before he re bodied it. He then used it as an ambulance in the 1920's or 30's in Philadelphia. Apparently it was quite reliable. I just had it repaired by a good cabinetmaker, so it is strong and sturdy; but needs to be stained and varnished. 

   Metallurgique was sold in England by Vanden Plas, the coachbuilder in a London showroom in the 1920's; so if you are a Jaguar lover; this is the original Vanden Plas tool box. Please go to my eBay store, Old English Motor Company. Then click on the the Books Literature Art section.    Thank you, James Dean, thejaguru. I am located in SEBRING, the Heart of Old FLORIDA.
