Nicholas, what is the condition of it? Is it possible or worth it to be restored? If you don't have a spot for it in your own home, these things are pretty collectable and can fetch a nice amount of money from collectors out there.

If you have kids or grandkids, it sounds like a cool (pun intended) toy chest.

a planter?

Are there any photos of it?

Looks like it has potential as a cool toolbox if you have a good tool collection.

Well, I figured it would make a good tool storage unit for holding and organizing tools, rather than a mobile toolbox.

I am with Dan.... that may be worth more as a collectible to someone than a tool box.... or maybe I am just watching too many of those shows on A&E and the History chanel

It is a collectible. Don't do any work to it. Check on ebay and get some pricing, but this is very rare..................

After viewing the pic's I would suggest getting it refurbed to it's original look. Then you can use it for drink bottles or if your interested in selling it let me kno i may be interested in it

put it on ebay
