No, not the Scorpions album, the new workbench. It'll end up covered in stuff in short order. Never, ever enough bench space.
Putting some cool old boxes under it.
Just got this. Surprised how well intact the logo is. Even has roller bearing drawers. Guessing this had an.option of how many lower drawers? Doesn't look like one was ever put in the empty spot.
Any idea on when it was made? I don't know much anything about old Proto...
Sorry for the crappy pictures. Here's box 1. I love the top box lid corners on these, not sure what the sheet metal term is for that.
Can anyone narrow the years down on any of these?
I'd never seen one of these before so of course I had to buy it. Gave a c note on a whim.
Were these made many years? Do thet have an official name or nickname? Was it toolbox only or did they come with a tool set?
I normally don't even consider restoring old boxes but this kind of has me...
Any Idea on year and who made it? It's got the really old slides where you have to slip a feeler in to remove drawers. Original paint looks like it was red.
I've never seen any others like this.

I messaged mcgee but haven't heard back yet. I've got a 6" version...
I've seen the similar, if not exact same style they sold in the 70s or 80s (maybe older?), looked like a Columbian machinist vise but they were made in Japan.
First time I've seena usa version of that vise with Craftsman on it.
I was in a Lowe's a couple weeks ago and walking through the tool section I was shocked to see some Norton products hanging on the wall.
Of course they were made in china. Most or all of the Norton stuff I'd seen before was either US or Canada. Have thet also had chinese products for a long...
3 inch machinist vise, Fulton. Were they a manufacturer? I dont recognize the name. I feel like I should know by the handle boss but I don't. Rock Island?
Picked up a few oldies today. I'm not a collector so I dont know much here. SK ratchet works good, how old is that?
The Blackhawk needs a total rebuild, flex hinge and all. Are parts around for that?
Is that Craftsman ratchet anything? Never seen a lever like that.
