Hi, I am looking at some Yorktown tool chests I believe to be from the 70s.
Can anyone point me to info on them?
Thanks

Well I picked the boxes up,they are stenciled 1971 on the bottom.
The paint is a little scuffed up, down to bare here and there, but I like it.
The none roller slides are growing on me, I did take them out and clean them, used Fluid Film to lube them, I love the stuff.
The boxes seem to be built like most others I see ,seems like the same slides anyway.
I will try to post a pic.

I believe Yorktown tool boxes were made in Lakewood/Jamestown NY and subsequently bought out by Matco. Matco operates a tool box plant in Lakewood NY. I believe the owner of Yorktown later went back in the business of producing tool boxes under the name of "Aero Industries" but are now defunct.
