Mainly Craftsman in the rollaways and top chests, because they're easy to find.  One Rem-Line rollaway from Dad's gas station (then in his garage from 1966 on, when the station closed), and one Kennedy rollaway, $30 at a yard sale with some tools in it.

Portable boxes: a mix, some Craftsman, some Kennedy, some oddballs.

New Britain - on top of the Craftys - yard sale $20
Kennedy - small one for measuring tools - inherited from retiring machinist friend

At work -

Vote thing is a FAIL.  It no worky...

Here's what I got:

Two Craftsman roll cabs and two different Craftsman top chests (18" depth & 12" depth).

One Williams tool chest, and one Craftsman/Kennedy machinist chest.

One Utica/Bonney roll cab & full depth top chest.

One Rem-Line full depth top chest.

An unknown brand (but made in USA) cantilever carry box.

An Armstrong 3/4 drive set carry box.

A snap-on 3/8 drive set carry box.

A P&C 3/8 drive set carry box.

A bunch of 1/4 drive boxes (Indestro, Duro, Stevens Walden, Wards Master, P&C, Craftsman).

All this stuff is vintage and most are restored or in the process of restoration.

I have an old Snappy bottom box with a Craftsman on top. Two Kennedys in the office, and several off-brand carry boxes here and there. I keep a Craftsman 4 drawer in the bed of the truck.

Cornwell roller(dads) with a 80's Cman Homeowners top box I purchased.
And a file cabinet with an Aztec middle box on it, waiting for an in progress refurb  Cornwell top box.
Gerstner for the smalls I collect. I am refurbing another wood chest manufacture unknown.

That's not counting the wood and metal totes, trays and boxes that are  hanging around, I mean, waiting to be sold.
