CMP tool box information

[cordenj]

I've found another Canadian toolbox in Sussex. Identical to the one found earlier this year and again has "Stanley Canada" hinges. On Ebay this time, just listed as a "old metal toolbox".

As before the clasp wire was missing, but it had again been fitted with a hasp instead (gas welded this time rather than riveted).

Either the original clasps were a weak point and the wires failed, or they were deliberately removed when the lockable hasp was fitted.

Seems quite a coincidence to find two, but as there were Canadian forces stationed all along this part of the south coast, perhaps these toolboxes were left behind?

Hasp removed and cleaned up ready for painting.
