And the chest on the bottom of this Union page looks just like mine. The one my father in law put the suitcase latches on. I don’t know how many folks made a black leather wooden 24 inch box with 2 hook latches a middle lock latch . I see one on this and one on the national page. I’m betting...

Any ideas. I’m thinking it’s either national who was making the radio boxes.! But I’m betting it’s the company that was making suitcases. I’m still reading back through the guide trying to find the name. But I bet the maker is the specialist toolbox maker who used to work for Simmons hardware...

It took 3 weeks of research to find it. I didn’t even remember it till my wife was helping me describe my cantilever tombstone with 2 large carry bars across it. and it was like I seen it yesterday as soon as she said it was soft. I used to pull up on the lids to shake the tools down.. I used...
