Big suckage granted. Nice score. Any plans on what to do? Going to try and fill it?

Very nice! And for $20??? Wow... great find!!!

They had a couple versions of that cabinet, one for woodworking tools and one for wrenches and sockets. I think this is the woodworking version, a hand saw would hang on that angle bracket on the door. It does look to be in really nice shape.

I know people have posted pictures here on this site showing what tools went in each one, or you could track down the old catalogs and look at them.

I actually just moved to a new house and hope to start working on building my dream garage to run my business out of with a second story woodshop,so if all goes well with the township,I should have a good spot for it.

Yeah,I'd love to find one of those.

Hey, I recognize that cabinet! Here it is 2yrs later filled up with period correct =V= tools, aside from some circle H sockets that originally came with it when I picked it up.

Beautiful!

That is an amazing collection. Im doing this with a 1930s mechanics box, it's a fun project. Your box is inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
