I keep an eye on eBay for machinist toolboxes. Found this one for $120 (!!) and it absolutely delivers on that price! It wouldn’t compete with the quality of a Gerstner, but it will absolutely hold some tools and look good doing it. I love the innovative drawer locking mechanism. Half-dowels slide down from the top compartment to capture hoops screwed to the back of each drawer.
In the bathroom because I didn’t want the spouse to see it. I have been buying a lot of things lately. So the box got a little photo shoot in the bathroom before it got set on the shelf in my walk-in closet. I have to clear off some space in the shop for it to live
Looks to me to be vintage. Not antique, as there are indications it was made using power tools, but I would guess it was made in the 1990’s; probably about 30 years old.
