Who made this box with a roll up door? Update - found another one

Update on post 15 - I got a second one.

Picked this up today. Is this an old MBC, snap on, or something else?









This was hanging off the side. Anyone recognize their mom?

Other random leftovers in the drawers:




Also, it was free so I declare this deal to be:

Looks like the early version of the snap on military/high security box

Mine is snap on, but made by MBC I think

Thanks to both of you. I think I found it in an old catalog on the collecting snapon site.

I see the two holes for the logo on top left

Probably MBC.

Made by MBC for Snap-on. They can have either brands logo on them.

I’ve got a Snap On and an MBC. Very similar.

JMHO but I always thought that roll up door idea was a good one. However I've never owned or even operated one so I have no idea how well they work in everyday work environments. Seems like FREE would erase any possible shortcomings too.

Mine works very smoothly. Can't speak for any of the others.

Old school MBC taco cart. As long as it's not roached out you did OK, and if the drawers and rollfront work smoothly, you may get some suckage for it. We had those in white (see pix above, looked just like that) in the medical corps for crash carts, except ours had drawers to the bottom. We beat the S#!t out of those things, and occasionally had a doper try to break into them (to no avail) and they came back begging for more. (BTW, the "nurse" on the side's name was Mollie, and she said she needds to check your rising... um... er... "temperature"... -lol--)

Unlike my medium rare steak... Well done!

Since I sometimes lack self control I don't even want to know what you have. It's a trap! This one is going to be used as a stand for a little mill, so the top needs to stay clear. Also I think you bought a blue Blackhawk top box from me awhile back.

Picked up another one today. This one has all the lamp parts, too.

Re: Who made this box with a roll up door? Update - found another one

I recently purchased this box. It has the logo and looks like it was possibly yellow originally. The difference I see is the location on the lock. Mine is at the top, where others have them in the door. Does this help distinguish when it was made? I have not been able to find a model or serial number anywhere in it.

Re: Who made this box with a roll up door? Update - found another one

I finally found the numbers today. Bottom left-hand corner in the front. Only thing left is to figure out why it is yellow and why the lock is at the top in the front instead of in the roll up door.
