{"product_id":"early-20th-century-painted-wood-tool-chest-with-lift-out-caddy","title":"Early 20th Century Painted Wood Tool Chest with Lift-Out Caddy","description":"\u003cp\u003eRectangular wooden tool chest constructed in solid boards with a hinged lift-top lid and an internal removable tool caddy spanning the width of the interior. The exterior retains its original black-painted surface, now worn through at the edges and corners to reveal the wood beneath, giving the chest a layered, work-earned patina. Inside, the chest opens to a warm, unfinished wood interior, with the shallow tray designed for frequently used hand tools while leaving a deeper compartment below for bulkier items. Simple iron hinges and straightforward joinery underscore its utilitarian purpose-this was built to be used, moved, and relied upon, not dressed up.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTool chests of this form were common in workshops, farms, and industrial settings in the early 1900s, offering compact, portable storage before metal toolboxes became widespread.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGood overall condition. The lid opens and closes smoothly, and the interior caddy lifts out easily. Paint loss, scuffs, scratches, and surface wear are present throughout the exterior, consistent with long-term use. No major structural issues observed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n26\" W x 13\" D x 13.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nInterior: 24\" W x 12\" D x 10\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nCaddy: 23.5\" W x 3.5\" D x 1.75\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18441 - 122325\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
