Finally got all the  stuff  from Tom's garage and there's a bunch of goodies in there for sure.  Already sold the Snap On KRA-25, but a couple of the others seem unique and going to the collection.  One is the Billing box which I've never seen before.  It's needing some TLC, but the latches and all are good.  The small red square box with the sliding top tray looks lke a Snap-On design, but no model number anywhere to be found.  It needs a bath for sure.  the shot of the boxes on the gray rack show a tractor box or two and some oldies with the metal corners on the bottom.  The Craftsman Cantilever is very nice on the inside and a huge unit.  Some of them will hit the dump being too far gone, but gotta hang on the the keepers......and heelspur might get excited over that old Crescent socket box!!!!

Your right is it for sale?
That's a hell of a haul, is that a running board box on the 2nd shelf, the red box.

HS:  yeah, check you message box..... the red box is either a runing board box or a tractor tool box......I have a silver one almost identical to it, except the silver one is heavier.  The yboth have 4 holes drilled in the bottom.... the mystery is whether those were mounted on the tractor fender or a running board....lol

That old Waterloo is a dandy for sure!

Living next door(so to speak) to Waterloo Iowa where a lot of these tool boxes were made, it's surprising  how many other companies had Waterloo make their boxes.  Waterloo still exists, but I'm not sure where the plant is.  Someone said it was in NW Arkansas like Springdale or somewhere near there,  hopefully not overseas......
