Antique Nail Sorter

(I was told this was a miners’ portable sluice box, but have since been told by more than one eBay member that it is a nail sorter.)

Box is in good used shape.  Is missing a bolt / nut and a couple metal arms (easy fix for a guy who's handy to fab up and distress).

Once opened and set up, I believe the wooden tray sits with its back against the open lid with a bolt / nut in the slot and two arms (missing) that come down and support it.

A woodworking expert should be able to look at this and know exactly how it works and what is missing (not much I think).

Closed, box measures about 18 ¾” by 10 ½” by 5”.

It is dusty and dirty, and coming as found.

Do not see a name on it.

Would be great addition to any period museum or personal collection.

Very cool old piece for the woodworker.

I am selling this "as is" as a display collectible, not for use, and will not accept a return on it.

Note: If you like Shooting, Hunting, Fishing, Guns, Pistols, Knives, Cars, Vintage & Military junk, Man-Cave Stuff, and some Women’s Things (shoes and coats), save me to your Favorite Seller’s List to get email updates on new items.  

I have a 8x40 shipping container and 3 storage units full of junk from the last 40 years that I am trying to get rid of. I will post as much as possible in-between my search for a job (out of work).

The stuff I’m selling is used and has been in my storage for sometimes up to 40 plus years and will have dust, grease, dirt, and dirt dauber nests. 

Thank you for taking your time to look and please checkout my eBay junk page “Vintage Gun Rifle Pistol Fishing”.  

Shipping and Returns Information:

Disclaimer: I ship within 3 business days of cleared payment, and that was specified when this ad was created as my ‘handling time’ “Delivery in 2 Days”, IF shown on the ad in red, is generated by eBay shipping software that is way-overly optimistic, not me.  Thank you for your understanding.

Postage charged is to cover actual postage, handling, packing materials, time, car & gas, and eBay postage fees. Returns given minus 20% handling and buyer pays shipping both ways.

Important, Shipments Outside the United States of America:

If an international bidder, please double-check shipping cost, because it will not be discounted.   Priority-mail cost will be charged for first-class international packages in some cases to cover handling and above. 

I do not offer international postage tracking.  Since USPS cannot track some international packages, the Buyer will bear full responsibility for local post-office delivery of the package once it ships and agrees not to hold the Seller responsible for non-delivered packages. No refund of purchase price or postage will be given for an international package that is lost or not delivered.  This is a legal and binding contract and by bidding you agree to these terms.  Again, thank you for your understanding.
