As soon as I saw it , I recognized the distinctive blue German made Gedore brand , as we have had the two tray version for over fifty years . All Gedore tool boxes and tool cases were once finished in that distinctive light metallic blue . The tool box is still up at mom's full of old bolts and nuts , so I don't have it at hand right now to take a photo .
Dad acquired both when we lived in Caracas circa 1973

Got up to mom's last week and got some pics of the toolbox
Serves as a catchall for old hardware
Well, how about that?! Thanks for the identification of what is a very nice box. It came with a few sockets, I'll look for the Gedore name. Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHey I was thrilled when I saw your find and recognized it. The Gedore brand is top notch stuff.
DeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteYes, both the tool box and socket set have been a fixture in our garage since I was six years old. I don't know where dad acquired them, but that's about the time my maternal grandfather offed himself and a lot of his tools filled our garage. I have never seen another tool box like it other than in photos. I found similar Gedore socket sets on line but all are larger sets than this one and the cases have folded corners. I am certain the stamped, as opposed to folded case dates it for someone more conversant in the brand.
