Vintage Vulcan Tool Box

[Chris321]

Please school me on Vulcan tool boxes.
I picked up a nice Vulcan drop front box today and am interested in learning more about it. The drawer layout reminds me of a Yorktown.
Nice patina on the outside the drawers are mint having always had liners in them. I plan to find an interesting vintage roller cabinet to go with it.
Was Vulcan part of Williams brand?

The later 20th Century Vulcan was Williams attempt at reaching the tool-truck market of Snap-On and Mac. Your box is from that time. There was an earlier Vulcan brand by Williams that was much different.

So about 1990's? I would have 70's maybe even 60's.

I think it was a 60s thing

Yes, later 20th Century, as in after 1950. The earlier Vulcan was maybe 1930's?

Looks like it was manufactured by MBC.

Is there any place to source a replacement key for this box?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I would pull the lock cylinder and take it to a locksmith. Usually 20$ they will make a key

It is made by MBC
