Mac small 1 drawer box

Anyone know what came in this originally? Was it a 1/4 set, or an ignition set? Or something else?

For $10 I couldn't say no. It's 8.25×4.25×2"

Not sure what came in it, but you did very well on the purchase! Nice box, I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat too.

Wonder if that handle is original? I have the same one, but mine came with a handle like is found on a chest or rollaway.

Do you know what the model of this box is? I tried googling "mac tools small tool box" and I found a couple like you mention 454. Regardless, it's a cool little box.

Thanks rusty! The CL ad had been up 23 days I feel I got lucky, but the seller's photographs weren't the best and it was in an ad with a bunch of other tools. I also like vintage Mac stuff so it was a no-brainer.

No, sorry Dave, picked mine up used at a swap meet. Same thing, didn't need it, just thought it was cool and different. Thought I'd find a perfect use for it, but so far I haven't.

Here are a couple close ups of the pull. If it was replaced, someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look original.

Couple pics of mine here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5752170#post5752170 Member replied it is from the 80's and was sold as an ignition tools box. That handle doesn't really look OEM to me, but those the rivets holding it on do, so I don't know....

Never seen Mac refer to their red color as "Coca Cola"

Awesome, that explains it, Dave's is a lot older than mine, apparently.
