Old matco box

[Roth79]

I don't need the box but a buddy of mine called me and said it was his dad's and wants to sell it, these are the only pics I have tonight, I'm going to go see the tools this weekend, but I don't think he wants to mess with parting it out, it's loaded with tools he said. Is this box worth anything, BAll park wag( wild *** guess) from these crappy pics. Box worth anything if drawers are smooth?

anyone

Roth

It's all I have tonight, trying to see if anyone might have idea, going to see this weekend.

Depends on how much more of that Snap On is in there. I could see offering north of 500 to see where that goes. Lots more SO, lots more money.

The box looks very clean.

don't know on value, but I love those style boxes.

That looks like to be a 33" wide box. It looks nice from what I see. Its a friction slide box, but those are built like a tank. I think $500 empty is a fait price.

I have the exact box. Bought it new in 1975 or 1976 for around 900 dollars for top and bottom. The only improvement I wish it had is roller draw slides. It is very solid toolbox.

just picked up that side box from a guy on CL with minor paint issues for $100 and we both thought it was a fair price. Agreed I wish it was roller slides (3 drawers in behind the door) but it's very good quality none the less - weighs more than my early 90's Craftaman top chest!

Matco Imperial box. I have my father's top box, same one. Wish he had never gotten rid of the bottom. I'd still like to find one. Don't come up often in my area.

A grand? Half for the box, half for tooling.

How many drawers does the side box have?

i he's your buddy you guy's should be able to come to a good agreement but i think a grand with tools is pretty spot on.

Imperial series MB910 top and MB920 bottom with MB503 side cabinet. I have two of each, built like brick shithouses. I agree only improvement would be roller bearing slides.

And full length drawer pulls . Later on they did offer them with BB slides and full length drawer pulls.

You are willing to pay $500 on tools alone based on one drawer of wrenches and hammers?

The side has 2 drawers - 1 adjustable. Pretty clean but I don't need the box, anyone in south Florida want the box for about 350?
