This is an old tool box of my dad's.

Doubt that he spent a lot on it, but despite surface rust, it is pretty solid, so I plan to clean it up and save it.

I'd like to find out who made it if possible.

It is 20" wide, 8.5" deep, and 10" tall at the peek of the hiptop.

I'm hoping the design on the front will be a clue.

Looks like there was maybe a logo in the little box at the left side of the design that may have been red and yellow. I didn't see any markings inside or on the tray.

He probably purchased it at a retail store in Ohio in the late 60's or early 70's

Thanks

here's another photo.

The long narrow embossed parallelogram is just barley visible, but you can see a little color showing in the small rectangle.

The embossed shape is like a Chevy bowtie, stretched out on one side, but leaning the other way as the Chevy logo.

It took me a while to see it, but finally got a photo that shows the Chevy bowtie logo rip-off. I suspect sharper eyes would have seen it in a heartbeat.

Someone must recall who morphed the bowtie into this toolbox logo.
