I actually returned the restored toolbox and the little Buck knife to the son (who lived next door to his parents before they passed away), as I thought they would be better keepsakes for him, than for me. Maybe he will provide some additional information in these comments. I certainly enjoyed looking through all the items in the toolbox, for sure!
Yes, Kennedy Kits model 1018. Not sure of the year (1950's?) but someone might know based on the single Corbin latch and the way the handle connects with metal rings.

Definitely an improvement, going to fun to put restored tools in it and use it. Nice job of bringing it back, thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it...thanks for watching.
Beautiful work. Did you ever learn anything about the box's original owner?

Looks great
Thanks much for watching!
Why didn't you sandblast the box
Well, I did all that would fit in my BarrelBlaster starting about 10 mins in...
Looks like a Kennedy toolbox.

Yes, I have one from the 1080’s with the 3 latches. Excellent tool box.
