My Dad wants to sell an old wood toolchest that has many, many tools with
it. This I believe is a patterns makers chest. Tools are old but high
quality tools take a look.

Dad was hoping to do better than $300 for the chest with tools



I'd give my left one for my grandfather's tools. Please don't sell them,
each has a story to tell and a connection with the craftsman.

Why does everyone assume it is an heirloom?
Since he doesn't know what kind of tools they are, the odds are they don't
have any storys.

I expect they probably are worth rather more than 300, judging by what I
have seen stuff go for at auctions, but I can't really understand why.
