In 1932 β 1933, three former executives of Union Chest and Cabinet Corp. (UCCC) bought the marketing rights to the tool case and chest business and relocated to LeRoy, NY. Their new business was named Union Steel Chest Corporation (USCC). As their name implies, they were primarily in the steel chest manufacturing business. However, they continued to offer wooden machinist tool cases and chests. To do this they had American Drafting Furniture Co. (ADFC) continue building wood cases and chests for them. USCC was essentially an assembly and marketing company for this line. Ergo, the cases were purchased on the outside and "trimmed" in LeRoy. The wooden chests came in three styles and were carried through 1953. Union itself produced steel utility and tool chests until the late 1960s when plastic fishing tackle boxes were introduced. The Company relocated to Chandler AZ in 1973 and closed in 1984. Source: www.practicalmachinist.com
