Help me identify these tool boxes

[VintageJunkie]

i've picked up a couple of items recently and I need help figuring out details.

Can you tell me how old this one is and if it's a genuine Craftsman? I know it's been repainted and the Craftsman label looks like it's been screwed on as an after thought. There are no markings anywhere on the box other than the screwed on Craftsman badge. Is it a Craftsman and how old is it?

The second box is a Huot. Any idea how old this box may be? There doesn't seem to be much info on this box on the web.

Thanks in advance!

The craftsman box looks exactly like my dad's, other than the silver repaint.

Tommy,

Do you have any idea on when it was made?

 

[LS6 Tommy]

I have no idea. He's had it as long as I can remember, maybe since before I was born. Next time I talk to him I'll ask.

The Craftsman Crown Top logo box should be 70's.

The Craftsman Crown Top logo box should be 70's.

Maybe my Dad's isn't exactly the same, but it's from before the 70's...

I'm no tool box expert. After a closer look I see that logo was screwed on after the fact.

Could be a different brand altogether.

Take the craftsman tag off and see if there is an outline or sticker.

Good idea on looking for the outline
