"In 1888, an 18-year-old Sheffield pattern maker, Ernest Warrington, made himself a tool chest to keep his tools safe... In 2018... it was bought by TATHS member, Ted Cole. Remarkably, this chest has survived in near-perfect condition... Recognising its uniqueness and outstanding beauty, Ted invited a group of tool enthusiasts and historians to help him tell the story of this chest, its tools, its context in Sheffield and the pattern making trade and share this wonderful find with the world" -- cover, page [4].
