Designer: H. Gerstner & Sons
Manufacturer: H. Gerstner & Sons
Country: United States
Materials: Quarter-Sawn Oak, Brass Hardware, Felt Interior
Crafted in the 1930s by H. Gerstner & Sons, this early 20th-century machinist’s toolbox exemplifies the precision and craftsmanship of the Arts & Crafts movement. Made from richly grained quarter-sawn oak, it features a classic front drop panel, multiple felt-lined drawers, and original brass hardware throughout. The green felt interior and diamond-shaped mirror inside the lid reflect its original utilitarian purpose while adding a touch of character. Designed to securely store delicate tools, this piece also doubles beautifully as a collector’s cabinet or decorative storage piece.
Fun Historical Fact: H. Gerstner & Sons, founded in 1906, is one of the oldest surviving tool box manufacturers in the U.S., and their handcrafted designs were once considered a rite of passage for master machinists.
