Bought this old Kennedy square top machinists' tool box last Sunday at a swap meet for $20.Fairly good shape save for a couple dents and the felt drawer liners were ripped and covered with oil.
Cleaned out the drawers and re-lined with some new felt.Scuffed the outside down(couldn't get to the dents so I left them)and gave it a quick coat of brown hammertone paint which is somewhat close to the original wrinkle finish.Threw some lettering and striping on it and now I have a new box to store striping equipment or knives or whatever.
Some new paint stuff.............
