This branch of the Austrian Hesch family is descended from Johann Hesch and his wife Marya (Schlinz) Hesch, who came to America from Oberschlagles, Bohemia with three sons: Paul, Mathias, and Anton. +++Johann & Marya settled in Buffalo County, Wisconsin but moved to Pierz, Mn in about 1885. .+++Mathias settled in Waumandee, Wisconsin and moved to Pierz in 1911. +++Anton never married but farmed with his dad in Agram Township, where he died in 1911.+++And Paul, my great grandfather, settled five miles away, in Buckman, Minnesota. He died there in 1900.

Wow, dad had some of these tools at his workbench in the garage, remember? I suppose they came from an auction, or from his dad's workshop. I do recall asking him what the tool on the lower right was for, and he didn't know ☺!
It's cool that you could fix tinware AND leather stuff with the same set of tools, and that Curly kept them just cuz they were too neat to toss.
