Garage Sale Tool Box

Recommended Posts

So I picked this up at a sale. It was dirt cheap. Wondering if anyone knows the name brand

 It has a horrible spray can paint job. It is very well built and is HEAVY !!. Fold down top with a lift out tray. Missing the bottom lid for the open compartment. Oldie but a goodie.

  It’s nothing like my US General (Harbor Freight) so I can only guess what brand it isn’t.

It’s probably a BOSCH or a husky

Looks like an early Craftsman to me.

The base looks like the early Craftsman (1948-50's) my dad got when he came back from WWII and went to Aviation school.

K9The top and bottom match. Never seen a drawer configuration like the top box. The ends of the drawer pulls are like scalloped at the ends. Did I mention that it weighs a ton. Has a lift out tray on top also. Some of the bigger drawers have double sliders. I can tell it's 70s or older. Usually the larger drawer is centered between the 2 small drawers. This box the larger is at the end.

I've seen a few older Stack-on boxes that look like that. Never seen an off-set lock like on the bottom part.

 

Not sure if that's what it is, and unless the keys match it'd be hard to even say if they are a truly matched set, but that's what I think.

I believe you are correct. Can't find any information on them. They don't seem to bring any money but I can tell you that they are built well and are very heavy. Did you or do you have one ??

No, I went to your thread on the computer and took my phone and opened Google Lens to take a picture of your toolbox from the computer screen. Then I got it to search images for your toolbox on the web. This explains the process:

Well I couldn't stand looking at it the way it was so I got some paint out after work today. Little brush work and it looks better anyways. Now for some drawer liners.

So I decided to put some liners in the drawers. I didn't think I was going to do anything with it but oh well. Came out ok. Today I will wax it and lube the rails.

Sear/Craftsman from the 70's. I've got one just like it. It was cheap but did the trick until I could afford better.

Can't seem to stop messing with this tool chest. Painted the lip of the drawer pulls silver. I like it.
