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.

Local antique store was selling one (asking a bit much for me); something I haven't seen and wasn't having much luck on digging through the uncatalogued on rose's.

or maybe

Picked up at a garage sale today. Anyone have any info on it. Never seen one like it.
The handles cross fold and lay flat.

It seems a bit odd to use perforated metal for a tool tray. Possibly a tray for submersing things in a parts cleaner? The last photo shows socket rails and dividers attached in a shadetree manner.

The one with the folding handle belongs to an A&P mech. The nuts on the handles are A/N locknuts, the perforated bottom was popular with the guys that work hydraulics because at the end of the day you could wash down all your tools with MEK to get rid of the Skydrol residue
