A decent older fully used, operational, Kennedy 8-Drawer Metal Machinist Tool Chest Box Case No. 526. This box has the original "Wright" lock and key, and squared off handles. These two features date it to 1940s to 1960's as a manufacturing date. These older sturdy cabinets were manufactured by Kennedy in the United States. This sturdy and durable tool chest features eight drawers, making it ideal for organizing and storing various machine tools and hardware. The inclusion of a key adds an extra level of security and ensures that your valuable tools are protected and easily accessible.
Condition: No major dents. The felt in the center drawer is not there (see photo), other drawers have expected wear from typical use. As is expected from a 60 plus year old Kennedy 526, there are some scuffs scratches a little dent, oxidation and the patina of actual use! Please see photos for details. All drawers and cover lock and work as they should. This is a good solid chest chest that can be used for another 50 years. See the photos and ask any question.

Note: Two folks asked me about the hole in the center drawer, so I thought I would let everyone know why its there. The main center drawer is specifically sized to store the standard pocket sized reference books used by machinists. The hole was designed to allow you to push up with your finger to aid in the removal of the book or other smaller similar books, charts and reference materials stored there. Many machinists reference tools were small books that could be placed in your pocket etc.
