    Default My "new" tool box

    My "new" tool box inherited from my mom as my dad died earlier this year. It's make from some sort of old arcade game, I've admired it since I was a kid and and really pleased to have it. It was made somewhere between the early 40's and early 60's, I am researching it trying to find out what the original game was and when it was made in an effort to figure out the real age. I was told it was an Uncle's high school woodshop project but that would have been early 40's and I'm not sure thatos completely accurate.

    Thank you Robb. I was very close to my dad, we worked together for 23 years so I saw him daily. I have many cool things from him including tools, guns and of course great memories.

    Sorry about your dad, but I'm glad you have something that holds many memories.

    I searched all over the web and couldn't come up with anything. Many of the painted parts look like they would fit together to complete a larger pattern and that might make it easier to find.

    Another photo with the front "door" on it. I am starting to think that it might be multiple machines that the parts came from.
