This cast iron toolbox came off a Frost and Wood (previous Frost and Wood post here) farm implement of some sort, I will find out what 941 signifies. Seen at the antique store, the latch mechanism was seized up, painted in place so the lid wouldn't open. I have to admit part of the reason I bought it was the challenge of getting it open!

no stack of gold coins in there.
or was there??
Glad all the evils of the world didn't come flying out when you got it open.
Might this odd-seeming box have bolted semipermanently to, like, a tractor's frame & contained a kit of tools specific to the tractor's needs?
No evils but no treasure maps either! And certainly no gold coins:-) This toolbox would have been carriage bolted to the frame of probably a horse drawn sickle mower.
