Help to ID Old Toolbox

[Bogash]

Not a lot to go on. Can you guys tell what kind of box this is? Guy says it was grandpa's. Full of tools. Don't know what kind or anything.

I have one that's fairly similar that I think we determined was Corny. But, this one has some different features. Regardless, it's a very cool box. With tools if he's at $100 or less I'd jump on it.

I had a box like that many years ago I bought second hand from the local Snap on dealer. It was a trade in. I am not real sure but I seem to remember it being a Herbrand.

The other pics **** but I can see old ratchets, vice grips, sockets, punches/chisels and a ton of end wrenches. It's overflowing and he's at 150.00. May go see them if he ever calls me back. It's all stuff I have but can never have too many tools...

Okay. Here it is... Just maybe, might possibly have been filled all the tools on the table. Some badass wrenches and pliers in there. Plomb, Buffalo, Proto, Ford, Channel Locks, and a bunch of others I've never heard of. 98% made in USA. This dude was a punch fanatic, too, he must've beat the hell out of stuff! I'll post up all that when I get it sorted. I'm going to keep what I need/want and get rid of the rest so if you see anything you want, let me know. I guess I'll get it on the classifieds at some point but I will keep a lot.

In the meantime, ANY ideas on the box? There is not a marking on it. Of course, it looks like it was brush painted twice, maybe three times. It's solid though. Can't decide what to do with it and all these tools.

If it's made in the USA its a keeper.

It's cool. I like it. Can't decide if I should try to clean it up and paint or leave as is. I keep going back and forth.

I have a top box with the same handles. What are your plans for all the tools? Nothing wrong with having 4-10 of everything.

I sorted them all out tonight. Pulled what I needed or wanted badly, threw all the non-USA wrenches in with the gen-pop in my box. There are quite a few in the pics on the other post I will keep. That New Britain bar is awesome and there's a little Ford wrench (Ford guy I am) as well as several wrenches, etc to keep. There's a bucket of punches I didn't take pics of, can always use those.

I can't post on classifieds here so I'm not sure what I'll do with all of them after I finish the hoarding.

Keep posting and you will be at the magic Classified number.

Probably just tell my wife I sold them and keep 'em anyway! She wouldn't notice a dead skunk in the garage but for the smell!

That looks like a nice haul! Can't complain at all about that.

Might be some nice original Peterson vice grips. What's it say on them. Post some pics.

I am 99% sure it's a Cornwell. There are no markings anywhere but some interwebs research lead me to believe you're right, sir.

They are Petersens. AND I am such an idiot. I saoked them in Evaporust, cleaned up and rinsed off, left 2 pairs on the hood of my truck, drove off, came home, realized what I'd done and of course, they are gone...What a f^%%$ing idiot.

Yes there was. You may have heard me yelling clear up in PA.

Money is on being a Remline. Just saw a roll cab with the same pulls.

Remline, Cornwell.... I'll just call it a "full already!"
