Estate Auction Score - Snap On

[Egghaus]

Went to an estate auction yesterday not expecting much, ended up scoring big.

Wrenches/Sockets, all Blue-Point Supreme and SO, all 50s date codes - $42.50
2X 11R vise grips, SO and Proto brake spring pliers not shown - $5
1957 SO KR-24A box no rust holes - $10

Should I restore the box or leave it as is? The tool tray has been modified, someone riveted in some extra socket holders it seems.

Clean up the box a bit and use it.

At an auction ? Versus getting lucky at a sale? That's impressive.

That box says restoration to me...

Here's a few more pics, I admit that I did clean and polish everything, they didn't look this nice when I got them. Love the big Blue Point box wrench.
