STORY

Made in Ohio since the 1930s, the 41D chest has remained the steady favorite of machinists, carpenters and collectors. Our version of the 41D will be available only in a limited quantity for a very short time. This special collaboration with the century-old casemaker starts with kiln-dried American cherry that is plain-sawn and finished with solid brass hardware. The case is emblazoned with several of the most distinguished Best Made emblems, including an engraved “Measure Twice / Cut Once” ruler on the lid, a hand-painted sash on the center drawer and custom embroidery in the white-felt-lined compartments. Suitable for storing knives, watches, pens, natural specimens or just about any small keepsake.
 

NOTES

History: H. Gerstner & Sons was founded in Dayton, Ohio, by Harry Gerstner in 1906. Gerstner is now a 4th-generation family-owned business known throughout the country for heirloom-quality handcrafted tool chests. It’s acknowledged that those who keep their tools in a Gerstner Tool Chest are a cut above the rest. Harry Gerstner’s basic principle still applies to every tool chest built – “A place for everything and everything in its place.”
