Other than they made a "Lucky Lou" line of tackle boxes, I can find absolutely no information on this company.
I can say that their toolboxes were very well made. I've never seen another metal one made with bullnose corners (which used to be commonly found on old wooden machinist's chests).
Mr. Gradwell, who offered a comment below, has suggested that the toolbox is strikingly similar to one manufactured by the Union Steel Chest Corporation of Le Roy, New York. (See his discussion and photos on the Garage Gazette.) The Union "Super Steel" box is certainly very similar in overall design, toggle catches, and bullnose corner guards, although the handle is different. Perhaps Union and Flaherty had a relationship of some sort?
