A Set of Screwing Boxes (Dies) and Taps for Cutting Threads in Wood. Ref: wsnthread.
A collection of wood cutting taps and dies,probably dating from the early 1900's.
Comprising 21 screw boxes and 17 taps,the pieces are either unmarked or bear the marks of:
Buck,Tottenham Court Road,London.
Meluish,Fetter Lane,London.
F.Burke.
Marples and Sons,Sheffield.
Sizes from 0.5in to 2in approx.In generally very good condition for age and includes 2 large iron tap handles.
Although a mixed set I think that it should be kept intact as any sets of these tools are now quite rare.

Price £650. Please contact me for shipping costs etc.
The photo below shows all the taps but only 5 of the 21 boxes.
