there was a whole set of these in the garage, my dad used to keep nails and screws in them, he was the eternal footerer and one of my sunniest memories is standing at the wide open door of the garage, sun shining behind me, while I 'helped' dad by sorting nails, Charlie Pride was singing about crystal chandeliers in the background, precious.
