I've been wanting a USA built Gerstner and Sons box for a while now. I did pick up a large set of upper and lower Gerstner International boxes a while back, used, at a very good price, but I wanted a "real" Gerstner!
It was a Craig's List find. It's in excellent shape! It's a model O41C per the tag. Only has one tiny chip on one corner of one of the drawers. Also, it came with a substantial amount of tools, mostly Starrett, some Union, all of which are in immaculate condition!
I'm not disclosing how much I paid in fear of all the "YOU SUCK!!!" comments (Bring 'em on! LoL). But I'll say I would have paid more for just the empty box, if I had to, than I gave for the whole package!
Just a note: comparing this Gerstner to the Gerstner Internationals that I picked up, the International isn't far behind in quality. I've heard that some are inferior, but maybe it depends on the time frame it was purchased??? Or maybe the luck of the draw? Anyways, I'm keeping them! They are nice too!
