Seashell Key Organizer -- SOLD

Measures: 6.75" tall; 9.5" wide x 3" deep

Red Metal Tool Box








We have another vintage toolbox to add to our collection.  This one is a fun tomato red and is covered with a few graphic stickers.  The latch, hinges, and handle are in great condition.

Think beyond the intended use for this toolbox.  We can see this toolbox in a vintage inspired boy's room. Screw directly into the wall as a great shelf or small space bedside table.

But it doesn't have to go into a boy's room.  The fun red would be equally at home in a cottage as it would in an industrial style loft.  Store toiletries, sewing items, art supplies, remotes...the possibilities are endless with this great multi-use box.

Measures: 7.5" tall (2.5" tall handle on top);
19" long x 7" wide 

This item is now available for purchase for $30 plus S&H in our etsy shop:
