Help Identifying this case

There is not markings left on it, the remaining paint is gray. 10" x 2.2" x 1.2"The way it was made seemed interesting to me...

That angled rear section looks like storage for sockets. It's hard to figure out, though, since the camera distorts the proportions somewhat. Since it's only 10" long, I'd guess it was for 1/4" drive or 3/8" drive components. I don't recognize it, though, as being from any particular brand.

The smallest end is big enough for a 3/8 socket, but the other compartment would hold a ratchet and thats it.

Looks to me like you could get a ratchet, a couple of extensions and a nutdriver handle in there. I can't think of anything other than a socket set that would work with that layout, really.

Try fitting a 3/8" drive socket set, with ratchet and accessories in there. If that won't fit, try a 1/4" drive set. Whatever fits is probably what it's for, I'd think.

Thats a 3/8 ratchet, seems like not much room. But 1/4 sockets are too small for the the other side...

OK. Now, I can visualize the size of the box. Looks like 1/4" size to me. Or, 3/8 with a small breaker bar and an extension or two. I mean, I don't know for sure. The box looks old in its design with those folding tab corners, and not every socket set included a ratchet. Some just had an L-handle or a sliding T-bar. Generally, though, there was also at least one extension as well in such sets.

@Millerfish -
That's a pretty distinctive box with the "wrap-around" tabs providing additional support to the corners.
The length of the box at 10 inches excludes it from being a 1/4" drive set.
Is it 1.2 inches tall? Or did you mean 1½" ??

Yep 1.2" hight wise it fits the 3/8 sockets I have sitting on my desk.
