Tool Kit (Part 1)

次回この記事の日本語版を投稿します。

In the three videos "➀Vintage Japanese Bicycles (Introduction)",   "②They Don't Make Them Like They Used To (First Half)" and  "③ (Second Half)" I captured some of the features of vintage Japanese bicycles that are no longer commonly found on today's bicycles.  But there are still many others.  One additional feature is the metal tool box (tool kit).

The metal tool box clamped on directly behind the top of the seat tube, both on gents & ladies models.

Here is an actual metal tool box dating back to the mid-1950s.

It is black enamel with gold lettering and pinstripes.

It opens from the left side by sliding the wire loop upwards.

The door pivots on hinges, and inside there is a small oiler (oil can) and set of four tools.

In the next English post we shall continue to look at vintage Japanese tool kits.
