    What year is this Craftsman Box?

    Anyone have any idea what year this Craftsman Roll Cab is? I am thinking early 50's? It's in pretty rough shape and has been repainted. It's been in my parents basement for as long as I can remember. Worth fixing up?

    I picked this older Rockwell drill press up this morning from CL. It's a 1/2hp motor 1/2'' chuck... other than that I don't know much about it, seems to be in decent shape for its age. Model : 15-081 Is anyone familiar with one of these? Is it a good one? Whats it worth? Thanks.
