I could use help identifying this toolbox. I recently picked it up (for $10) simply because it seemed to be of good quality, and I'm always in the market for another toolbox. The only markings I can find on it are on the lockable hinge and they are "Pat Pend". I've found no other markings on the box. It has black/rust/red finish, but it appears the red is the oldest of the visible finishes. The red only remains on the bottom, as if someone had spray painted the box with it on it's bottom.

It seems to me the emblem where the handle attaches to the box may be distinct, but again I couldn't find any markings. The toolbox measures 17 3/4" x 6 1/2" x 6 1/2".

It's been suggested, elsewhere, this may be a toolbox that held a valve grinder set, although I've not been able to confirm or deny that.

Any help you might provide in identifying it's manufacturer, purpose, and age would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
