I sorta have a tool/toolbox collection.... I have a boney box I really like  
and a hip roof craftsman....  the new craftsman I bought to actually use was  
almost worthless until it busted.

>When I was on sabbatical at OSU 30 years ago, I brought a Gerstner box home  
to my wife at the end of my time there -- not for tools, but for her  
jewelry!  At the time she was a little put off by that gift, but she has  
since come to love it -- and fill it.  It is not a design that is in their  
current on-line catalog, but is similar to the Custom Box that is labeled  
SIMPLE on page 1.  The hardware is a little less industrial in appearance,  
and very elegant.  Inside the case, it says W259, and the one we have is  
#19.
