Gerstner boxes

Post by Ohio Rob »

Hello all.
I’ve got a bit of a thing for these old wooden boxes.
I just picked up a few from a coworker who was clearing out an estate. One is a fairly rare walnut example.

I have owned two Gerstner boxes but sold them when offered more than I thought they were worth.

An old time machinist told me those mirrors were for helping to remove chips from eyes.

An old timer told me that the mirror was there so you could see when the boss was approaching to look over your shoulder!

haha had to chuckle. I was told the mirror is to check makeup because Gerstner owners are prima-donnas
