OLD TIMERS.......... CHICKEN FARMERS ........WHAT IS THIS CONTRAPTION ANYWAY?

[wsmith]

There was one of these types of totes in my grandparents barn. The smaller divided section (4 smaller spaces) contained bottled of medicine/concoctions for the animals and the others were empty. I think my grandpa used it for veterinary supplies, etc

Of course it wasn't exactly like the one one ebay, but similar; marrower without the diagonal divider and one longer section.

I distinctly remember Grandpa-in-law's tote having a worn leather handle. Ah ha! It's the original man-purse!
