Bonney's Box

[Johnny Generic]

Did Bonney ever label any toolboxes?

A quick image search suggests they did.

All Bonney toolboxes, from the smallest portable to the rollers and stacks, had decals, during every era, just like any other major tool mfgr. Like those, the decals sometimes wear or come off. But it was definitely their practice. The logo on the ad Stuart posted is from 1947 to 1962. Earlier and later logos were different. I posted a #Bonney logo timeline chart in the Bonney thread. You can find a link to the Bonney thread in the A-Z Index of Threads in the Sticky at the top of the forum. Searching the thread on that tagline will take you directly to it. Searching the thread on terms such as toolbox, box, case, chest, roller, etc will take you to all the posts showing or discussing Bonney toolboxes.

Box mentioned in post 4, couple of stickers probably stuck on there in the early 1980's

drop front cover, think a total of 7 drawers, i may go back over to shed and count .....

inside, not all Bonney tools, there a big mix, Some snap on, Bonney, J. Williams, old craftsman, and of course some junk, and that 'changed' craftsman screwdriver handle.....

IIRC, llaht's box looks 70's and later style logo to me, and allnc100 looks like late 30's style.
