Not sure if we can hot-link images from there but it looks like a K-55 Chest from 1946

Just think, back then this was a lot of tool chest.

your K-55-W is in about as nice condition as i've seen. built like a tank, my example is one of my favorite boxes and houses some of the older pieces of my Snap-on collection.
