Who made this Cornwell tool box?

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Any idea of vintage? I an guessing it is around 2000 vintage. It is pretty good size - about 40" wide, 16" deep, 19" tall with 11 drawers.

Did Cornwell make these or did some other manufacturer make them? I swear I have seen them labeled as Proto. I wonder if Waterloo made them. The drawer locking mechanism seems like Waterloo. The drawer slides have a bent tab retainer instead of a clip which I think is later Waterloo like.

Now to figure out how to remove a layer of ancient masking tape that was placed on the floor inside the top compartment without damaging the paint

Looks like Waterloo to me.

Cornwell has used Remline, Waterloo, and Kennedy over the years.

Soak the masking tape in WD40.

Think I'd agree Waterloo. The remline ones I have seen had full width bottom drawers. The Kennedy one tend to have a hidden center support between the drawer banks.

Yes, on further research is looks quite similar to the Waterloo Pro Series WI-1511 tool chest. I am still not quite sure of the age as I do not see any vintage Waterloo catalogs online.
