There appears to be a man wearing robes and a fez, in the background. Taking in lodgers or hostages?

That could have been my Dads collection from 50 years ago.I do like screwdrivers with wooden handles.
A bit of a sort-out yesterday revealed that I probably have enough now, I think.

There are some interesting things there - the 'Perfect'-pattern ones towards the left, the solid steel items with just small wooden plates forming the handle, were common in motor vehicle toolkits before the war - they can be struck firmly with a hammer, whilst being turned.
The 'double-handled' one is something I've never seen elsewhere - you can apply pressure with one hand and torque with the other.
An original Surform and a couple of scrapers rest on an old photographic guillotine, then there's a few chisels.
The chisel with the 'thing' on the end is used for raising a small sliver of wood from a surface, so that a nail or small screw can be used, then the sliver is glued back above it, for a 'secret' fixing.
I’ve got a nice big heavy trusty wooden handled screw driver. No idea where it came from but I keep it in my car door “just incase”.I do like screwdrivers with wooden handles.
