Help To ID A Vintage Tool Box

[demiandvm]

I picked up this tool box at the Restore Store. What attracted me was the box, but in closer examination it also contained a Penens Ratchet with sockets. Originally caked with red paint, I was stripping off the paint and uncovered this decal emblem set below the handle. I definitely can make out an S and an M next to each other and their position makes me jump at calling it a "Craftsman", but that would be too easy. I would think Craftsman would have a metal plate emblem, plus the surrounding color doesn't look like a Craftsman. The latches are imprinted with the word "Corbin" , which I found out was a latch and lock maker in New Haven. Can anyone identify the emblem or paint scheme of the emblem in my pictures? Thank you.

Yes, Craftsman. There is a picture on Alloy Artifacts, dark g a midget set to 1937.

Thank You for the reply. There was one Craftsman Circle H socket in the tool box which was a type produced in the 1930's up till early 1940"s.
