Looks like you've solved it. It's a Proto! Thanks!

Good morning, Fellas! I need some help ID’ing this deep-well, double box-end wrench. I got it in a 4-piece wrench lot on FB marketplace for $20. It’s an 11/16” x 3/4”. No brand name, no forge mark. Just “57253-B” stamped into it. When quoting the model # into Google with the word wrench, I see...

This photo has me so excited for 2 reasons: 1.) It's one of the most beautiful sights I have seen on this forum in my short tenure here. And 2.) I now know for a fact that these types of flat file cabinets CAN INDEED hold enough weight to store tools. Now I can't wait to go find a nice old one...

Here's an interesting one from FB marketplace. Previous owner was an aviation mechanice (note the CH-53 Super Stallion sticker).

Yesss pls do

Looks to be an identical twin to the Cornwell "Brute" series box. I have been searching for one of these Cornwell's for a long time. I've attached some pictures I have saved online for reference. I think the Cornwell boxes are mid to late 1980's.

The classic S-K ratchet design is what Nokia was to cellphones. I own one in every size.

Awesome!!

I am not interested. Too large of a project for me to chew on. Have at it!

Also, here's a FB Marketplace listing I just found. Unfortunately many are rusted through the top due to being outside for too long. Listed as "Military maintenance storage cabinets" in Bristow, Virginia. Seller is asking $30 each, with discounts if you buy more.

Good to know. Now I have another lead to follow. Thanks!

Here are some pics of various, separate Cole Steel handles I've found online for reference.

Because I'm not 100% sure of the brand, I'll post this in here. But I do think the shape of the handles (last pic) hint that this could be a military issued tool box by Cole Steel. Possibly for aircraft maintenence?

^This demo took place in Australia

Wow. That thing is old. Never seen one like it.
