An old friend has owned this tool chest for the last 40 years. He probably picked it up used. It has no markings. Done anyone have an idea of who made it and approximate vintage? Thanks
Can you help identify this tool chest?

The only thing I can think of is Huot but I'm not at all sure. I like it though.

I wondered about Huot, but the corners were more rounded than the few I saw on the internet. However, there was not a lot if pictures of vintage Huot tool chests compared to their other items, like drill storage boxes, etc.

Does the front cover panel have an oval on the bottom right hand corner? I can't see it with the wrench set in the way.

Looks like it a Huot! Thanks everyone for the information.
My first reaction was Huot it reminded me of one that I owned. Google lens search turned up a Pac Nor that looked almost identical including the color. Unfortunately can't seem to track it down again. The emblem was rectangular and in center of the drawer cover. If I had to guess vintage I'd say 60s or early 70s.

With the glare in the photo, I can't be sure, but the label appears to say "Milwaukee, Oregon.
The chest still could have been made by Huot on contract.
