      Excellent work. I am though curious what the boots looked inside bearing in mind how much they were worm on the outside.
      Also, Happy 60th Anniversary to your grandparents!

    Happy anniversary to your amazing Grandparents. I inherited my Grandad's screwdrivers and other tools. They are exactly the same style as yours and my Grandad was born in 1904, so his tools must date from at the early 1920s I reckon. He left school at 14 and did a 3 year appenticeship and I would guess he bought his tools just before setting up as self-employed. Likely as not, your Grandad's tools were inherited from his parents.

    I used to watch all the old Disney movies on VHS at my grandparent’s house and every time your grandson whistles the song from Robin Hood I think of them.
