Gerstner & Sons, at 20 Gerstner Way in Dayton’s Five Points neighborhood, is one of the most interesting factories I’ve visited. The famous Gerstner tool chests have been made there since 1913. Their customer list includes the Wright Brothers.

You can tour this factory today from 9am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm during the annual Gerstner & Sons Warehouse sale.

Browse this historic Dayton factory and save on ALL Gerstner products during this once-a-year event! Choose from their most popular products, including first-class and factory-second pieces, with savings up to 50% off.

Save up to 75% or more on damaged or unfinished products—while supplies last! Gerstner stockpiles items all year long to sell for this event. These are only offered on-site at the Annual Warehouse Sale.

Gerstner Chests make great Father’s Day gifts or bring dad and let him shop.

20 Gerstner Way
Dayton, OH 45402 United States
(937) 228-1662

The 2610 Journeyman Chest. The most recognizable and sought-after design by Gerstner since its introduction in the 1930s.

About Bill Franz

In retirement Bill Franz bought a camera, learned how to use it, and became a volunteer photographer. He has done photo projects for the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and for almost two dozen other local organizations.

In 2013 Bill started a project of his own – photographing people at work. Since then he has photographed hundreds of workers, from butchers and bakers and candy makers to clowns and sculptors and fire eaters. The photos have appeared in solo and group art exhibitions and also in less traditional venues such as hospitals, retail stores, nature centers and breweries. They have been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Profits from photo sales go to Dayton area nonprofits.
