So while Trina was at our favorite small engine repair place yesterday to pick up the trimmer she spied this beauty..

 

1954 Huot top. 

 

I'll let the pics tell the story.  

 

If anyone can identify the base cabinet I'd appreciate it. Replacement Crafstmen drawers on a (military green? ) base.

I have seen some early Craftsman tool boxes that were a gray/brown cabinet with red drawers.

60's -70's was the common period for this color scheme, particularly for smaller, older boxes. It did continue into the 80's - 90's, some of these would have the "quiet glide" drawers.
