This is a vintage H. Gerstner & Son oak wood tool chest with seven drawers, made in the United States pre-1954 It is a collectible item and is designed for machinist tools. The brand is Gerstner and the country of manufacture is the United States. It measures 20\" wide x 13\" tall x 9\" deep.
The lock is by Eagle Lock Co in Terryville, Connecticut, a company established in 1883. At one time it was the largest trunk & cabinet maker in the world. I do not have the key. This is a beautiful piece of history that is still functional. It would be a great addition to any old tool collection.
After posting, someone suggested this might be a Schartow Iron Products Co Chest. I honestly do not know for sure as they look so similar to me. Please note this disclaimer as I cannot absolutely certify as one or the other. It\'s a great old machinist chest either way.
I make every effort to post pictures that accurately depict the item up for sale. If you have any questions please message me before offerding. Thank you so much for your interest.
