I think the K-20 was a staple in Kennedy's lineup for years. This is what appears to be a factory applied olive drab crinkle paint on one? It's it's in good shape, metal handle, single center latch with pad lock hasp. Tray inside has shiny paint. Any ideas?
-
They did boxes in olive drab along with other colors. That is in nice condition.
-
Cool, I have never seen one of these in OD before. Regardless, it's a keeper. Nice heavy unit.
-
Very cool.
I really like the little vise that is a gem.
-
Ah yes the vise... I couldn't leave it behind. It says HENRY BOKER but doesn't say Germany or USA. The vise part is a hand vise, the rest looks like a shop or Smith made clamp base.
-
The hand vise part is handy but never seen the bracket/mount like that before.
I wouldn't have left it behind either.

I seem to have collected a green Kennedy machinist version, and a hip roofed Kenned box that was sized for 3/4" dr socket set. It is a pleasant green color.
-
I have a couple of those green Kennedy boxes that I store the Barcalo tools in. A rule of thumb with Kennedy is that they used leather handles until around 1949. If the box doesn't have a leather handle it's postwar.

OnS,
I'm a fan of OD green myself. I'm not sure what the OD attraction is, but I like it.

Plenty of room for those 3/4 dr sockets in the bottom of that "too big for a lunch pail" box.
