That looks like an old style carpenters box. The 32" fit handsaws. Most guys made their own wood version. I have only seen a couple of metal ones and never in that condition.
Where did you find it at?
Agree on the carpenters box assessment. Although I feel I have seen something like that before aimed at the artistic type, painting perhaps:
Either way for me, those tiny drawer pulls would have to go first.
Yeah you're right, The drawers are tiny. I'll keep my bicycle tools in it, the drawers are perfect for all my small misc spare/repair parts. Just thought it was a cool box, and for the price, just couldn't pass it up.
I'll continue to keep my tools for my truck tucked in an ammo box for now.
