Mac Toolbox Help

[jywilli69]

Hello, I am looking at a Craftsman toolbox on Saturday. He also has this Mac Box as well. Can anyone give me an idea how old it might be? I have never owned anything MAC before. It’s a decal, and I am very curious. Any help would be appreciated.

MAC decal is mid 60's -70's.

Update, as per jywilli69's info in post #5, it looks like that MAC logo was used from early 50's through the 70's

I really appreciate your help. I’m definitely picking up the Craftsman one on Saturday. If the price is right, the Mac box will be coming home as well. Not looking to pay more than $40 for the Mac Box. I want to see all the drawers and see the back and bottom of the box.

Seller agreed to$45 each, I am excited. He supposed to send me more pictures of the Mac Toolbox

Well after taking some time to do some research, I was able to find some information online. I found 1952 and 1958 MAC Tools Catalogs and found my box. It’s a MAC Tool Box MB25 here’s the picture. I also found a tool to remove the friction slides, which will come very handy.

Nice find. I've got the newer version of your 6-drawer MAC, mine's from 1963. I can't find the model number anywhere on it. The MAC emblem on mine is not a decal, it's an aluminum plate, riveted in place. The only other differences with mine are the style of the handles (more curved) and there is also a handle on the front lid panel.
