Not near enough detail to tell much about it.

Snap on bottom, seller says the top is Orwell, I wonder if it's a Cornwell?

If I can contact the seller, I'm going to check these out Thursday.

I have a Cornwell that looks like it with chrome pull handles and casters under it. Mine features, when the bottom drawer is SHUT it locks all the other drawers. I also bought new, a matching 6 drawer Cornwell top box to fit on top of it. This was in the mid-60's.

I picked up the two boxes.

Roller cabinet has a Snap On tag, I can't find a model number.48"x32"x19", plus a side folding shelf. Looks like a KRA-456

Cornwell top, some paint work needed.

Sweet find dreamer....Vintage boxes have character.

That Cornwel isn't a top even if that was where it was used. It's a bottom and with casters, is a roller. Take a look, I'll lay odds there are caster holes on the bottom.

That bottom unit looks like an old Snap-On equiptment cabinet.

Outlawmws, your're correct it is a cabinet, I'll have to find four casters for it. I gave $120 for the pair I couldn't pass it up.
