Help ID craftsman tool tray

[ncboat]

My wife delivered my birthday presents this morning in this Craftsman tool tray. I have never seen one like it and hope one of you can help ID the vintage. I suspect it was in a tool box not a chest. She found it in a vintage shop.

That's a Craftsman Tote Tray; a stand-alone piece, not part of a box. You can find it in the 1966 catalog.

Thank you. I think I will soda blast it and freshen it up. Appropriate gray paint?

Rustoleum Smoke Gray is a pretty good choice that's close to old Craftsman (non hammered finish)

Easy to use and easy to find.
