This lot comprises an assortment of workshop storage items and various hardware components. The primary item is a ZAG 26-inch (66cm) Contractors Toolbox constructed from dark green plastic. It features red plastic latches, a central carry handle, and a lid designed with an integrated ruler scale and a flip-top compartment for small parts. The interior contains a removable red plastic tote tray.

Contained within the larger toolbox is a variety of miscellaneous hardware, including retail-packaged Homebase Fixing Set Chrome Effect sets, multiple heavy-duty metal hinges, an orange plastic divided organiser box containing small metal pins and fasteners, and a plastic bag marked Harris.

The collection is completed by a vintage industrial metal storage trunk of steel or iron construction. The trunk features a hinged lid, latches, and side carry handles. It is finished in heavily worn black paint with stencilled white lettering. The inscriptions on the lid and front include the words French Road, Yorkshire, and England.
