All of the drawer fronts are made from quartered Oak and the original metal label is still attached to this model 042 Machinist Tool Chest. You will find a small history about the H Gerstner Company below this description and you will find that this antique, oak Machinist Tool Chest has been listed with No Reserve! … To make sure some er wins this auction, it has been listed without any reserve!
“Harry Gerstner, born in 1884, made his first tool chest while working as a pattern-maker. It took him a year to design and make, as he only spent evenings working on it. After it was completed a friend remarked that he would like to have one of these well-designed chests, so Harry built another one. Some of his fellow workers commented on how well made it was, and this got him thinking that there may be a demand for his chests, as they were better and different than anything on the market at that time. So, in 1906 while the Wright Brothers were perfecting their first airplane, Harry Gerstner used the 100 dollar bonus from his job and founded his own tool chest company. He picked up his first orders by making evening door to door sales calls on his many friends and acquaintances.”

2012 UPS & USPS PRICE INCREASES
It has recently come to our attention that the shipping costs that the calculator has been providing for our bidders have been higher than normal. We have not changed our shipping department in any way. We strive to make sure that our customers pay close to exact costs as possible. When items are packed and exact costs are figured for the label, any excess costs paid will be refunded. At the beginning of 2012 the shipping cost for UPS Ground increased 4.9% and 4.6% for the Post Office. The shipping calculator pulls its figures directly from UPS and USPS and, unfortunately, these price increases are out of our hands.
As always, we strive for 100% satisfaction and do our best to provide our customers with the best service possible. We encourage you to email or call us or concerns you may have regarding shipping.
