1940’s tool box restoration.. anyone able help me identify it?

So I finally managed to finish this off. I'm pleased with the end result - this box was in pretty bad shape. The bottom in particular took and long time to restore and prep but I'm glad I managed to save it.

Lugz, the Krylon Olive Green paint you suggested looks great and I really like it. I'll give it a couple of days before using some compound and was to take off some of the satin finish.

Box looks great plus it seems to be a unique example.
