I would just worry about blasting through any areas that are thin. You might run into the same problem with evaporust because the box appears so rusty. It would be nice to preserve it as much as possible since it was handed down to you.
Most of the rust is just on the surface and the box is very thick for a socket box, it does have some sentimental value because he gave it to me, but it was something he go at an auction or a flea market/swap meat.
Yeah it looks like it has remnants of that type of paint."Black Crystalline" was one of the of the coatings S-K Chrome used.
Cool! I redid an S-K and Craftsman box like that - both came out wild!
I never looked in a catalog but my set goes from 1/2” to 15/16”What size range of sockets is supposed to be in this set.

Wayne owned S-K from 1962 thru 1969. So the Wayne name sort of dates the tools.

Every once in a while one is correct for a set I’m assembling. 
I finally found where I had misplaced my 4way. The appearance of a crack was just the angle that the picture was taken. It is totally intact.I have one made during the Wayne era. One of my few Wayne keepers. It was a Craigslist find. I haven’t seen any more available.
Don did you notice your 4way appears to be cracked?

I would say because there is no need for them as a user tool as tools have evolved. Like most things people collect though, they want originals.
Not sure if I posted these here before. They'd probably look better with some cleaning. One marked Tiger.Some various chrome alloy ratchets
