I am trying to identify my manufacturer of my grandfather's machinist tool chest. Unfortunately, it is locked and unable to find the key. I am trying to track down a key so that we don't damage the tool chest.
After some research, I believe this was manufactured by National Tool & Chest Co. I can see through the crack of the front panel that there are oak drawers. I can see through the crack at the edge of the front panel that the bottom drawer is taller with 3 shorter drawers above; however, I can be sure of the actual horizontal layout of the drawers. I am thinking it might be a 6 drawer box (4/2). I believe it is an wooden oak box covered in metal. Anybody have expertise around identifying? Any hopes of finding a replacement key for the latch stamped with the number 411?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Rodney
