This is What a $150,000 Antique Tool Storage Case Looks Like

The

Studley Tool Chest

is the most famous example of 19th-Century tool storage currently known. But it's obviously not the only tool-holding masterpiece ever built; it's just dumb luck that the man who inherited it happened to loan it to the Smithsonian in the 1980s, enabling the world to learn about it.

Studley工具箱

是目前已知的19世纪工具存储的最著名的例子。但它显然不是有史以来唯一的工具持有杰作;这只是愚蠢的运气，继承它的人碰巧在20世纪80年代把它借给了史密森尼，使世界能够了解它。

How many other craftspeople built pieces like this that we just never heard about? There might be cases like this scattered across the world—or worse, lost to the ravages of time. But another one has just popped up on the radar, and it's going for a whopping $150,000 at auction.

有多少其他工匠建造了这样的作品，我们只是从来没有听说过？世界各地可能都有这样的案例，或者更糟的是，在时间的摧残下消失了。但另一件作品刚刚出现在人们的视线中，其拍卖价格高达15万美元。

Sadly, this one isn't attached to a particular maker and has no story behind it.

Item No. 30-3632

, up for auction by Louisiana's M.S. Rau Antiques, is described as a "Woodworker's Tool Compendium" and contains some 210 implements of far more general provenance than Studley's piano-making tools. The cabinet is estimated to date to the early 20th Century and contains tools from the prior century.

可悲的是，这一个是不是附加到一个特定的制造商，也没有背后的故事。

劳古董，被描述为“木工的工具纲要”，并包含约210个实现更一般的出处比斯塔德利的钢琴制造工具。该内阁估计日期为世纪初，并包含从上世纪的工具。

The flowery language of the auction description can't hide the fact that they clearly have no idea who built it, nor what type of cabinetry the original user worked on.

拍卖描述的华丽语言无法掩盖这样一个事实，即他们显然不知道是谁建造了它，也不知道原始用户使用的是什么类型的橱柜。

An undeniable craftsman's dream, this incredible compendium of woodworking tools comprises 210 antique and vintage specimens stored within a marvelous, custom-crafted wall cabinet.
