When I bought the Craftsman machinest tools I showed intrest in a kennedy box he had but was selling as a complete set with all mac an snap on and craftsman tools an a few kennedy. I couldnt afford the large set and most of it I already had. I left my number after buying the craftsman box an told him if hes ever intrested in piecing out the set let me know an I will be a buyer for some of the tools an the box.
Heres what I got

Very nice. I have one nearly the same in brown color. I believe the one I have is from the 70s.
It's funny. I work at a big machine shop, and nearly all of the machinists have Kennedy toolboxes. But in all of the garages I've been to, I've never seen a mechanic with a Kennedy box.
Good haul!
WOWEE old Tool box, Neal Great find! It is in such nice original shape, please, don't restore it. I'm drooling.

I wouldnt dare touch that one, its in working order an nothing wrong with it. I think its got alot of character just the way it is.
Those are some cool Saltus wrenches and drivers.

+10 on the Saltus wrenches. They are in excellent condition too. Let's just say WOW!

No need to re-finish.
Just soap and water, elbow grease and paper towels will clean it up.
Great find.

Yeh I agree.
I gave the inside of the drawers a good cleaning, lots of oily residue an grease an gunk built up in the corners an all over the drawer. Thats all gone now thoe. I didnt scrub the outside just litley wiped it down.
