I've acquired a mechanic's steel tool box with a decal that reads "WANCO Toccoa Georgia" 19" long x 6-3/4" wide x 7-3/4" tall. Hip roof style with gray hammertone paint.
It has a lift out tray with two racks for socket wrenches.
It's certainly no prize, due to rusty condition, and I intend to recycle it. I'm just curious as to how old it might be, as an internet search came up blank and no such firm is listed on the County Chamber of Commerce website that covers Toccoa.
Steel machinist's chests have been discussed on this forum several times, so I think this is more-or-less on-topic even if it is obviously more of a mechanic item than a machinist item. Who knows? This post may even uncover the existence of WANCO machinist chests.
