'The' Guide for 20th Century Wooden Machinist Tool Chests

This site was originally a Google Old Style, launched in Sept. of 2014. It used to be for the Pre-1960 Machinist Tool Chests and Cases. Google Sites had stipulated that it be converted to their New Site format prior to 9/1/2021. On July 18th of 2021 this New Site was published. It has been rearranged by listing all manufacturers chronologically, oldest to newest and, with the addition of 1959 – 1999 H. Gerstner & Sons Inc., it now covers the 20th Century. 

I hope this meets your needs and good luck……toolboxted
