Fair price for these tool boxes?

[lakeview2628]

Folks, assuming these boxes have no rust, no missing parts (except keys?), What do you think a fair price would be for them? Anyone have these boxes that can speak to the quality?

200-300. If they have keys and are in good order.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks, guys. I was thinking the same. Not sure of the age but they don't have the handles of the older Mac tool boxes so I'm thinking 80s. Does that sound about right for the age?

I think so. 80-90s.

I think so. 80-90s.

Cool. Thanks again for the help.

FWIW, the MAC boxes are hell for stout.

Hi. I have one that is very close to them. mbc is metal box co. I bought mine about 1970. It,s been a very good box. bill sorry i read the logo wrong bill

Thanks again, All. They look like good boxes but I was concerned that maybe Mac tool box quality declined when the stopped making the older version with the chrome handles on the drawers. Sounds like this newer style is still good. I'll offer the guy $200 for 'em.

I would say 200 is about fair. I would guess by the logo though that they are 70s and probably very heavy. I would also guess that they have been repainted, either that or its just the photo quality. I have an 80s mac box and sitting next to my snappy it is much redder in comparison. That box looks almost orange.

Good point about the color. I did look around online and the older boxes seemed somewhat orange so didn't think much of it but couldn't hurt to ask him.
