I am ever so honored to have this amazing piece of history that contains all his AN type fuel wrenches, KD tools a variety of customized Johnson adjustable tools and the most interesting novelty! The lucky rabbits foot.

    The brand name on that unique tool box/chest, appears to be the word "CLIMAX"
    Just doing some web searches, so far I haven't found that particular size and shape!
    That is indeed a cool vintage tool box!

    It’s a WWII issued box called the M-1.
