No, it was a regular production item made by Dorman. My father sold those in the 1960s.
There was recently one listed on Ebay for some insanely high price:

and there's another one listed as well, also overpriced:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Dorman-Allen-Wrench-Set-With-Case/182885145846
The sold originally for about two or three dollars. In the 1970s we started stocking the vinyl-bag sets in Indestro, and then later the "key ring" sets in Hollywood Accessories and Wilmar.

yeah... somewhat... that was an old Dorman item. I remember them from when I was a little kid. always thought the little leather snap pouch thing was cool.

Never seen one before, but that is cool...
I like hex key organizers, like that Dorman, and more modern plastic blocks, infinitely better than plastic pouches. You always seem to have to dump the whole pouch out to find the size you need...

all my hex keys are in a quart zip-lock bag, and it's "fish and find" every time I need to use one.
