About the Item

Metal toolbox with chocolate brown enameled exterior and green painted interior represents the functional industrial storage solutions of the Mid-Century era. Features cantilever-style expanding trays connected by accordion side mechanisms with riveted joints, allowing compartments to fan outward when the wire bail handle is lifted. Construction employs spot-welded steel with applied enamel coating. Cantilever toolbox design emerged as a space-efficient solution for organizing small parts and tools, with stacking compartments providing easy visibility and access. The expanding tray mechanism relies on pivot points and linkage arms that distribute weight evenly across the structure. Chocolate brown and green color combination reflects industrial color standards of the period. Shows wear consistent with age and use, including enamel loss, discoloration, and surface scratches. Well-preserved original condition maintains functional integrity.
