About MePneumatic tool holder consisting of cylindrical body with holes at both ends. One end is threaded internally whilst the other is smooth. The body is cross hatched around a narrower waist and the letters FSO stamped at the top. Just above the waist is a line of small holes around the cylinder joined be a recess which contains a metal wire. There are three holes grouped together near the top of the cylinder.

There is the remnant of an inscription on the upper part of the body which reads "BON" - the shape and positioning suggest this is from the Bon Accord Pneumatic Tool Company.

This tool was collected from the yard of William Mackay on Holland Street, Aberdeen before they moved to Westhill in 1987.
