Possibly the finest in the world.
You are considering a superbly kept H. Gerstner & Sons Model 44 Patternmakers collectors/machinist tool chest produced around 1950 in Leatherette and Quarter Sawn White Oak. This is the longest chest Gerstner ever made containing (5) highly grained white oak wood drawers having nickel plated drawer knobs and complimentary back plates along with the rest of the hardware being nickel plated. The inside of the bottom of the chest is stamped in black ink showing the H. Gerstner & Sons logo with all drawers, inside of top till and the central area of the drop-down lid being lined with fresh deep green Gerstner felt. To give you a bit of history, the Patternmaker during the 1930s to the 1960s made more in wages than doctors and lawyers so these chests were a very important part of their livelihood and today they are still coveted for their versatility in the machinist trade as well as for the collector since the drawers are both long and deep with ample storage for display.
