It will be enjoyable seeing how this and the sister, No. 888 tool box, thread broaden.

Best of luck filling it. Any idea how Stanley decided on the no's (e.g. 888 & 801) for their products?
Always wondered.

Murch, I think the blog will be filled with comments before I actually get a No. 801. I'll post stuff on a psuedo-copy that's almost done at some point, but until then I've only seen one or two of these on ebay over the years.

Their numbering is totally weird, I agree. So little to be found on the interwebz re: these boxes, maybe someone can jump in with good intel.

 

I have one for sale

Ahh right, thought you had the box already. Didn't realise they were so rare.

Only made over a three year period, something like 1923 - 1925 or so. More than a few internet references confused the two of them (the 801 vs. the 888), another reason to just get these pages out and viewed.

A few pics added to the OP of a No. 801, faded and missing it's sliding tray.

Ain't that the truth, it certainly needed something.

It's interesting that the large brass SW badge is on the inside on that one. I kind of wish mine had one on both inside and outside. There was a sticker on the inside of the lid on my No. 888, but it's only about 2/3 there anymore. Brass plate inside and out would have been cool, so you'd still see it whether open or closed

Yep, that SW badge sure adds the grandest touch to the chest.
I'm guessing a reproduction in brass would be slightly illegal?
And, most importantly, above my skill set…

This is my version of the Stanley 801. It's made from Louisiana Sinker Cypress with Dovetailed corners and the center divider is mortised and tenoned into the sides of the box.

Thanks for looking,

I've not actually had a No. 801, just an 888. The best dimensions are in the pic of the manual above.

Does anyone have, or know, what sized corrogated fasteners were included in the Stanley tool chests, and how they were packaged? I have a No. 902 Sweetheart chest, and have just purchased two boxes of sweetheart corrogated fasteners at a quite reasonable price. But I suspect that the chests were equipped with a smaller amount than these boxes contained, in a different packaging. Anyone know?

That's a nice kit. Do you have any idea what year it was offered?

 

Jeffersonhandplane, I sent you a message. To see it go to your profile and select 'Conversations.'

 

Hmmm a tool chest for each of this crew?

And..no...I am not the short guy on the right...
