It would be very functional as a fantastic organizer for bolts and nuts and small parts and is it worth $500? Of course not. A plastic piece of crap from lowes could separate hardware just as well. If that Chevrolet emblem on the bottom wasn't there it would be a $50 item. It's the same reasoning people prefer to buy snap on tools vs ones that work equally well and cost a fraction what the snap on label costs.
I'm willing to bet this is probably the same piece I saw in the antique shop and the guy thought he could get more for it
