Harrumph!  Me too, skeptical, I mean.  Two things jump at me 
immediately. No mention of user marks.  ALL craftsman marked their tools 
in those days.  Second, all the edge tools are just thrown into drawers, 
no attempt at dividers or protection of any kind.

For those that might want a refresher on a real populated old tool box, 
here's an old link.

This box was relatively well protected, still family members got into it 
absconding with tools and depositing inappropriate junk.
