Tool chest manufacturer identification assistance

[pooterguy]

Can anyone help identify the manufacturer of this top chest?

At first glance, I thought it was a Waterloo/Craftsman. But there are a few distinct differences apparent in the internal lockbar, lid hinges, drawer pulls and drawer slides. It is also noticeably heavier than comparable Craftsman boxes. And of course, no ID stamp or sticker.

I would say most likely sold as a craftsman. While Waterloo is most common, beach, especially for Canada market was a supplier too. I think some of the beach made boxes were sold in the USA for a time.

I had not thought of Beach. But, when connecting other dots, that seems to be the most likely answer.

Thanks for that info.

SPG International made and I think still makes some Craftsman boxes.
