Its a hardware dealers box from about 1925. Very nice one. Snap on once tried to sell tools at hardware stores, it was a failure, the tools were priced to high. this is one of those boxes. Its rare to see one with the top, could you post a pic showing how the top is attached.
Thanks much for showing this to us, and tell us about youself.

Hi there thanks for your reply very interesting to know that i have actually got coming with it a 1928 change of price sheet, i have not yet got the item its on its way as we speak but ill have a look at the other pictures of it and i will look for one showing how its fastened. If that fails ill take a picture when it gets here. It is though missing the top draw so im thinking thats going to be hard to find haha. Thanks very much.

I just looked at a close up of the front and it looks like either its bolted on at either end or some kind of dowels, that will be one of the first things i do once it arrives.
