Somebody must have gotten a riveter for Christmas and practiced a lot! It looks like a heavy duty box that held an industrial tool at one time. Nothing exceptional or rare but still a nice industrial metal box.

Looks like it had a tray that fit in the top at one time !!  Maybe something like a drill box,, drill went in the bottom and bits went in the tray !! Sure is well built so it would have been for a heavier item !!

This is a really cool box, I love the paint! I would guess it was made around the 40s, how old do you think it is wayward? I would think it's worth around $40.

I would guess 50s but not $40. My value would be less than $20 but after watching Picker Sisters who knows?
