Doc has a Craftsman toolbox. I'll one-up him. I have two - both probably older than half the folks on this board. I'll try to shrink them so I can post - the pictures that is.

Most of the folks on this board are in their 60s.

60s? A bunch of kids. As for pictures, if I shrink down to the logos, it will fit. One is their standard toolbox with a tray in the top and the other is a 3-drawer rollaway cabinet with lockable space at the bottom. It's filled with stuff I'll probably never use again like a ring compressor and Whitworth wrenches.

You guys would laugh at my tool box collection... I'm just now moving into a new house, across the country from where I used to live in Virginia. Since I had to load and then unload them all, I counted them. The present count on toolboxes is 16. Yeah... way to many for anyone. I may have a problem. All various manufacturers from snap on, craftsman, husky, vidmar, etc.

All my roll-cabs are Snap-On ones. Two KR-557B side by side and a "Master Series" 19-drawer combo, KR-550 top box with a side cabinet. All late '70's to early '80's vintage.

The Craftsman is a two-drawer with an upper compartment with a removable tray under the lid. That's the refurb project.

Eventually I'll refurb all mine to be the same color, but that's a project for way down the road. Too many LABCs to finish up first

I also have about 5 other assorted metal boxes filled with electrical parts, odds and ends plus 4 plastic fishing tackle boxes.

Speaking of tackle/tool boxes, I have a small tackle box I bought with money earned from collecting soft drink bottles and turning them in when I was 12 or 13. That was in '62 - '63! A bit rusty, but still functional. Has a ring on the front that swivels up to act as a rod holder. It was long ago relegated to holding electrical connectors, but still quite handy. One of the very few things I still have from my youth.
