Craftsman? Pollard? Any vintage experts?

I'm scoring some more older industrial items from my workplace, from the "graveyard" as I call it. A mezzanine where they move old office and shop furniture when it's not longer to be used. I shop here from time to time. I've bought several Pollard Brothers benches that I love for my workshop. Also one old craftsman toolbox that they had in the scrap bin. I'm wondering if these green tool carts were actually made by craftsman and resold by some other company who painted them (or whatever the finish is) green. Also, the two carts with the large wheels on them were used to move large rolls of paper (label stock) around on the shop floor. I'm thinking those were probably made by Pollard, but not sure. If anyone knows, let m eknow please!

Thanks in advance guys and gals,

Warner

You could look at the product catalog on Pollard's website, I don't think their designs have changed much if at all over the years. And as a general tip on Pollard, McMaster Carr sells a majority of their catalog. The heavy duty workbench legs are the thickest gauge legs I could find online, absolute rock solid. I had previously switched from some thinner gauge Tennsco that wobbled all over the place.

This old one is a beast. It's got two 1/8" plates on top, legs would hold up a bridge. I got these things for $10 each from my work. 20220109_185940.jpg

After looking at those, I agree. I can't find any markings on the green one that I have at home now. I'll check the other one tomorrow after I get it home.
