I bought my gerstner Journeyman boxes around 1983, Mine are walnut. Gerstner used to offer oak walnut and cherry. Now it looks like only Oak. What I find unique is ladies will buy the older gerstner apprentice model, send them back for restoration and then use them for jewelry boxes.
While foreign tools are good I wonder how many will make the 3-4 generations like starret, browne and sharpe, lufkin. I have some Lufkins that were bought by my grandfather then my Dad and now me. One of the guys in gauge and layout told me the cheap tools would pass ISO inspection for a few years before failing. The above would pass for the whole carreer of the owner then some. Federal finger indicators would get sticky over time. And there were no replacement tips when the ball got a flat worn on it.
My starret junior mechanical indicator was made around 1900 and is still accurate and free moving. Even at 120 years old.
