What is this old tool kit for?

[Kev18]

I bought a lot of old tools, mostly wood working stuff and it was inside. I have no idea what it could be for. I got excited and maybe thought some type of gunsmith/engraver's kit. But I have no idea.

Don't know for sure, but the hammer reminds me of something you might see on a cobbler's bench.

Maybe, Im at a loss for now. Never seen a little kit like this. And its high quality.

Neat set, what is the tool under the T-handle with the treaded end between the Lineman’s pliers and the screwdriver in the “upper” section?

Also the black handled screwdriver has some markings, what is it and are there any other markings/symbols?

It almost looks like a general tool kit from an old car. Mabe something with wooden wheels?

ive been a tool hoarder for decades, used to joke I've got every tool god ever created but never saw a kit quite like that

Hammer, chisel, pliers, screw starter ... General Handyman Kit?

Looks to specific for that. Usually handy man kits are big clunky tools, and usually pretty cheap.

It looks like the only tool that was added to the kit. it has a plastic style handle. It says made in Germany, thats it.
Im at a loss for what it can be... Good quality tools, nice wood handles, brass bushings...

auger and punch, almost want to say leather kit.

[sparky45]

Vintage woodworkers set. Beautiful hammer.

[Chihuahua Floyd]

I was gonna say leather working kit also.

Judging from the mismatched handles it is just a personal kit, not a purpose built, sold as a set. Maybe the pouch originally had a matched set but it would not be the items you see in this kit today. There are three items in one loop, not likely a purpose built set would be like that. Be nice to have a better view of the item on the bottom of that loop.

That’s what I say. A dentist kit from like the early 1800s or something

[clum553946]

If that’s a dentist kit, I sure wouldn’t want those used on me!

1.) Leather working - Shoemaker's Kit.

2.) Farrier's Kit for shoeing horses?

I’m going to guess, and that’s all it is, is that it’s a kit assembled by a signmaker either for installation or repairs.

The double-bevel flat chisel is often used for carving letters or round bits. I’m not sure if the thing that looks like a screwdriver with a fluted handle is a screwdriver or a detailed carving tool. The other tools all sorta fit for working with wires, screws and nails.
