I have a snap on toolbox that was given to my grandfather in 1938. Its a decent size box and has dark blue paint that I believe to be original. I want to keep the box in my apt but i have a baby girl and dont want her hurt by what I assume is lead paint.
While it is not peeling, it is rusting in a few areas.
Can anyone advise on the best way to seal lead paint so that it is not harmful to a baby. I prefer not to grind it off as my grandfather has since passed away and I want to keep the box as original as possible.
I’m not sure how common lead paint was for tools and objects.
I suggest you start off by getting an inexpensive lead paint test kit at most big hardware places like home depot. If it is not lead paint, then you’re done.
