Picked Up a Herbrand Tool Box Today

[DonovanSpeed]

I got this off of CL today. It's looks a little better in person. Other than the top of the H being broken, it's in good shape.

Does anyone know how to date these boxes. I haven't found much on them other than that this is pre-1960 because of the logo. Most of the similar boxes I've seen the front cover is hinged at the lid. It looks like it was originally blue.

Cool, I have the same top box but never found out the maker.

Very neat box! I have the roll cab just waiting for one like yours to "complete me."

 

[Shelbylex]

Did you restore the box, Donovan?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I like it

Nice box, you don't see many of those around here.

Think you should post some pictures of those (folding?) horses it is sitting on, looks like a project.

I keep trying to collect some herbrand stuff but it's always one or two bits here and there.

Funny how - with tool brands - your locale really does affect what is available. I find some Herbrand locally, along with alot of Craftsman. Must just be what suppliers offered what brands in your town, and so that determines what you find used.
