Mac Tools Toolbox ID

[jimbo0076]

I'm looking at a box and unfortunately I am not very familiar at all with Mac boxes and was wondering if yall might be able to shed a little insight on the model # of these two boxes and any good or bad about them. I don't know the model numbers just that each is roughly 33" wide and that they are supposed to be 1988 models. I'm looking at buying them but haven't seen them in person and just wanting to make sure they are good well built boxes before I make a trip to be bummed out.

for some reason it doesn't look like a Mac tools label and the handles are a little off. are you sure it's a Mac toolbox? can you enlarge the picture to see what the label looks like up a little closer and repost that picture?

The label/badge looks like it's two words?

I once had that top box. Built like a tank! Is that the anaversery set? How much is it?

Should be MB910 top box and MB920 bottom box, 33" x 18", all friction slides? Depends on condition. Got any more pics?

Instead of "Mac Tools", the badges say "Anniversay Edition".
The drawer handles are gold, not the usual chrome.
The pull handle on the side of the bottom box is gold, so is the caster hardware.
And on the right corner of the drawer handles, there's tiny badges that say "Mac Tools".
50th Anniversary to be exact.
Circa 1988.
I know because I have the very set.
Friction slides, not ball bearing.
Good solid box.

Oddly enough, I also have the 50th Anniversay Mac Tools catalog from 1988 and there's no gold handled, "Anniversary Edition" stuff anywhere in it.

I've seen the ad you're referring to. Personally, I think you can do a lot better.

If its the one that had the $1000 price on it, I agree.
In the photo it looks dirty and beat.
$1000 will go much further if you're patient and look around.

Here's just one example:

From the fist pic I thought it looked well...used...the other pics confirmed it.

Alright fellas after looking around more I can tell yall are right on the price. I don't care to tell yall I got it down to $650 just talking with him but after talking with some other mechanic friends or mine and yall I know I can do better so I'll just let it slide and keep my eyes out for others
