This is the picture you didn't see. It contains the original box that this month's items came in. We received it via snail mail from a family member. She sent us the pic inquiring about what these mystery tools might be. They belonged to the friend of a family member whose trade was tuning pianos, so she thought they might be used for that purpose. What a difference a box makes.
Because we had the benefit of the company name, we easily were able to identify the items. This month's tool, a packing extractor set, is used to remove packing (material used to prevent leakage around a moving machine part). For a full explanation, click here. This set was made by Garlock Packing Company, which was founded in 1887 and is still in business today. To enlarge the pic shown, click here.
Thanks to Janet M. of Mt. Sterling, IL, for supplying this month's item!
