Who made this toolbox?

[Rickenbackerman]

Picked all this up the other day for $65. Pretty much all good USA made stuff. Anybody recognize the intermediate box? I don't see any stampings anywhere. It looks to be pretty old. I didn't snap a pic of the handles but they're the chrome hinged deals.

Looks very close to a Waterloo I have. Bought mine new sometime in early 90s.

However, I am no expert.

Is there a sticker inside the top drawer, right side, on the inner drawer sidewall?

 

[Rickenbackerman]

No sticker or identifying marks that I can find. The drawers have nice ball bearing slides. The handles look like this.

Anybody else have any ideas? I think the lock cylinder being on the right side is pretty uncommon.

Old Waterloo is my only guess. Hard to tell from that angle

I can take more pics if that would help!

Looks like a 1980's/'90's Craftsman to me, which I believe was a Waterloo product. The extruded aluminum, fluted pull slides-on the sheetmetal drawer front, yes? I have a Craftsman ball-bearing slide, top box with what appears to-be the same side handles, acquired in the '80's.

Yes, get the slides and show it with drawers closed

No idea.

Well the drawer pulls are close if not the same as old Waterloo. Kind of surprised by ball bearing slides.

the lock is a dead give away, its not a wateroo

Duplex, Homak, International...?

 

[driftpin]

I thought those were multi-fluted aluminum pulls, but they aren't. That's a difference I think from my vintage Craftsman, though I'd need to go check it in storage to be sure. The slides do look like my Craftsman ones, from what I recall. If I get to the storage, I'll look at both the pulls and the slides.

Thanks guys! If we can't figure it out it's not the end of the world...
