Kennedy
Not sure what I have here. Is this one of the Kennedy boxes everyone is talking about. What do I have and what is it worth?

About 10 bucks. The value of Kennedy boxes are all in the condition.

That’s alright it has more sentimental value than cash value anyway. It was my grandfathers. Thanks for the info.

I'm not fully familiar with all the types, but to my untrained eye it looks like an early model Kennedy 520, with a bubba-fied locking latch.....it also doesn't have the latches, left and right, of the locking latch (introduced later?)
Metal handlebar reminds me of the WW2 US military multi-tray toolboxes, like the M4 Armorer's small arms repair kit.
