No sorry, I do not recall the manufacturer. Most of the boxes had grey
pattern bases with black lids, but a few were brown pattern boxes with dark
brown lids. Not very helpful, I know. I should have taken some pics!

Hi Cindy,
Actually somewhat helpful ;) We can probably rule out that they are Berry
test sets ... those usually came in blue ... there were a few other third
party vendors of trunk and station test sets ... names eluding me ... in
addition to Western Electric itself. If the units are a "battleship gray"
sort of color, that could suggest (though not guarantee) WECo manufacture.
Given a bit more identifying information or a picture, I'd be happy to
pass this along to a few phone collector lists that I'm on ... depending
on what it is and what it costs, there's a chance some people there could
be interested.
Best,
Sean
