Old Toolbox Identification

[redragoon]

There is a vintage toolbox listed in my area, but I don't recognize the features. The only defining markings are a stamping in the lid. Shows an oval with 2 lines leaving at tangents to the top and bottom.

It most likely would have had a label or sticker in the empty oval, but it is long gone. The beige paint seems to be original.

I’m no expert by any means but by reading a lot of toolbox posts and the garage sale thread I would guess it’s a Huot brand box. Other experts on here might have a more definitive answer.

X2 on the Huot; a medium quality box and not especially valuable in that condition.

X3 on the Huot. Here is my similar Thorsen marked box made for them by Huot.

That stamped oval on the lid says huot

That looks like the winner there. Chicken dinners all around.

Huot provides free emblems to the owners of old boxes to keep them alive (I mean boxes : ) Big respect for that!

Huot because of the oval and the design of the tool tray.
