Old metal drill bits and a few other metal pieces contained in an old tin marked "A Souvenir of Bourneville" (the famous Cadbury factory) probably all dating from the mid twentieth century. There are over 90 individual pieces in total. I would guess that these would have been used for woodworking, but some of the bits are extremely fine and narrow and appear to be quite strong, so some of them could be for metal working. There is a small cardboard tube with lid included and this contains about 10 minute bits. The tin is quite worn and knocked and is bent in on one of the smaller sides. As can be seen there is some general light to medium rust to the bits, but the cutting edges of the large ones feel sharp and I would imagine that they would clean up OK. I'm not really sure about the value of these, as it is not something I normally sell, so the item is offered as per the description above and the accompanying photograph, with what I hope is a low starting price and in the hope of millions of pounds or dollars, etc.!
