Interesting, thank you.
I suggest that the lock is not original (which is consistent with an individual having the key, and thus the box, assigned to them). Also, it appears the lid has been turned inside out to hide the "fragile" warning which would not be wanted for personal storage and should be visible externally if holding battery cells. In the process of turning the lid, I think they also swapped hinge and latch side based on screw holes.
I don't know what the interior should look like so can't comment on whether the ribs on the ends are original or added to suit whatever the individual was using the box for.
Not completely original, but when did anyone last see another, better for sale?
