Derk.

In the late 1950's, my parents bought me a three speed bicycle from Eatons. The 'house brand name' of the T. Eaton Company line of bicycles was 'Glider' and they were made by Raleigh Cycle of England. Fitted to the back of the saddle by two small leather straps was a tan leather tool kit containing a set of spanners and a patch kit tin bearing that general shape and name. Not sure the colour scheme was the same but I recognize the two instruction blocks on either side of the lid. So those tins were definitely around in the 1950's and probably go back some time before then. Thanks for the memories!

David
