Anyone recognize this tool box?

[orgnog]

Hello all, been lurking for awhile and found a reason to make an account. Recently acquired this tool box and was curious about its brand as the badge seems to be missing. It looks like an old NAPA box to me, but I dont know who manufactured them. Any assistance would be appreciated. Despite not knowing the brand, I am excited about its quality and looking forward to filling it up. Thank you

Looks like a waterloo. Could be badged as something else but they made a lot of boxes for a lot of companies back then.

I agree that it is a Waterloo. If the price was right I would buy it.

Could definitely be a waterloo as they made boxes for pretty much everyone back in the day. The one thing I'm unsure of is the position of the drawer pull on the drawer face. Most waterloo boxes I've seen over the years have the drawer pull along the upper edge of the drawer face. This box has them kind of centered on many of the drawers. It could be an age thing though and just an older model. There isn't a part number or Build date stamped on its back side? The economical tool cart prior to US General

Awesome, I think the price was right. I bought all 6 for $280. The Waterloo filled with old craftsman sockets/wrenches.

I'm going to look around for a stamp tonight. I appreciate the info.

I would have given 280 for the big box alone. you did very well.

He may have to apply for a "you **** award"

Nope. No one can apply for a you **** award. The award must come unsolicited and freely from other Journal readers that thought the person got the deal of all deals or something like that

You ****, orgnog.

Very nice find.

 

[BrandonV]

Waterloo for sure.

Just so you know a 'you ****' means we're jealous of your find and wished it was us instead

Also the you **** award is usually promptly followed by someone going We will give you a hand and take that terrible deal off your hands. Two options just send them to us or maybe half price.

 

[PelicanPines]

Yes... you have received the Nifty You **** award. Wear it proudly.

Waterloo. The side handle is the dead giveaway; combine that with the black line running across the front of each drawer handle.

I was gonna say possibly Homak, but then remembered I think I had that exact same box with the top, badged Waterloo. It was NOS. I think Proto also carried that. Odd drawer pulls for sure.
