Here is a near mint late 1950s - early 1960s Huot tool cabinet. According to John Huot, this is a premium set that makes it pretty rare. It comes with 2 sets of keys and the build sheet.
$600 Firm
Located 35 miles SW of Chicago
Here is a copy of an Email I received from John Huot of Huot Mfg.
The top chest is a #100 and the bottom cab is a #280. I’m a bit surprised to see these as they were known to be more of a premium set. Both were taller than most tool boxes of that era, but many folks wouldn’t or couldn’t cough up the extra money for the bigger boxes.
The decal was used well into the 1960’s however the photo you have titled “slide” has another tell in it…At the bottom of the chest one can see a flange which is there for the front apron to nest into. This was discontinued in the very late 50’s or perhaps just into the 60’s.
Very nice stuff, Brian. Enjoy!
