War Department issue 1940s Leather engineer’s tool box / bag
This WD leather tool bag is ideal for any WW2 re-enactment but I just used it as a lovely old leather case for carrying tools and spares on my pre-war motorcycles.
I had another one of these boxes with a WD kite mark and was embossed with SE Norris &Co. This leather tool box doesn’t have the WD kitemark, but it does have what appears to be a military issue number. It says: 942 6898 AS81.
Of course, without the WD Kitemark, I imagine this is late 1940’s military department.
It’s useable, but not immaculate.
The handles are well attached. The front left one needs another rivet fastening as that’s missing. The fastening to close the box still works and it has the original metal lining to the lower section. It’s all held together by the original rivets.
Measures in inches: L 13.5″ x D 6″ at base and 5.25″ at top x H 7.25″
Perfect for sticking a few spares in and strapping onto your rear rack when out on a run.
Viewing: Please come and check it over before you buy. It is at PE28, near St Ives in Cambridgeshire.
Shipping: I usually ship to most destinations. If you don’t see a price, please ask. Thanks. International shipping available.
Collection: If you don’t want it shipped, I have plenty of space. If you can’t collect for a while, it’s not a problem. However, I will need to be paid very soon after the sale. Thanks.
Payment: Good old fashioned money on collection is preferred. I can accept payment through PayPal or by bank transfer as well.
Import Taxes: Please note that IMPORT DUTIES are not something I can control. If you are buying from outside the UK, there is a chance that you will have to pay import taxes.

The price that you see on my advert is for the item and not the item plus whatever taxes might be due.
