I just picked up this tool chest. Does anyone know the brand/maker of this box? I cannot find any model code stamped on the back or sides.

It is either snap on, Mac, or MBC. If it is snappy there should be a stamping on the lower back right side.

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrenches 3061, 3070,

Nice box!
I doubt it’s SO given different drawer handles and lack of holes for the SO sign. MBC would probably have the same type of handles for upper and lower.
May be MAC? (I do not know their models as well). Another thought is Dayton

More photos of it here. It is 26”side, the slides look very similar to Snap On slides. It looks like there may have been an emblem on the front bottom right corner as there are two holes there. I have searched google images and eBay but haven’t found one like it.

Here is a pic of the deeper center drawer, it looks to have the same slide placement as the smaller drawers. So two smaller drawers could have been originally in place instead of the center deep drawer. Yes probably a frankenbox, I plan to clean it up and use it at work to store the German tools that came with Heidelberg printing presses, Hazet, Stahwillie, Gedore, ect....

May be a combination of Dayton + Snap On or MGB upper drawers...
Look at this image - Dayton from internet. Lower hole position coincides with emblem on this box which looks somewhat similar.

It looks like a frankenbox to me. If you look at the BACK of the drawers, does the paint seem to match? Or is it a bit different?
