I focus on 20's-30's snap on, and some 40's stuff, so I have no experience in this area.

Something just does not look right about that to be a Snap on... The type of chrome handles are what I am really zeroing in on.

I concur... The handles look like Kennedy. Those look just like the handles on my Cornwell (Kennedy made) box.
The box looks very similar to a Kennedy 360 (except the length of the handles)

I think it looks out of whack as well... Lookin4'a67galaxieconv will sort this all out...
I may not know what it is, but I can tell you what it isn't.
I bet a case of anyone's favorite beverage that is not a Genuine Snap on.

I am still saying craftsman-
The handles are exactly like my old bb top and look at the crappy construction towards the top, the orange is a color they used to offer on cman as well. Also if you were going to try to rip someone off like this guy is you would do it with the cheapest box you could find.

man, that is a tough call, if you look at the bend on the front of the drawers they match snap on... from that era only thing that bother me is most snap ons have the front cover that drops in front... quick question, does anyone have a snap on emblem from 78-79, does it match i am thinking the emblem is newercorvette 25th anv would be in timeframe i mentioned....... regaurdless of brand, it is a very nicley put together box

I used to have a Craftsman box identical to this.The "Chrome" handles are just plastic that slides on from the side.$150 box new at the time.

IMO it's not even close to being a Snap on box. My first impression was it was a Mac box...but it does have the Craftsman style. I have a Craftsman box with that drawer configuration. Color doesn't look right either. I'd like to see what those handles on the side look like.
I'd say it was a Craftsman box with Mac or Kennedy trim on the drawers. Kind of funny how this guy is trying to pass it off as a Snap On. He may have gotten it in trade or something and just not know any better. I'm always hesitant when people write their ads in all caps.

I sent the seller a request for more info and a photo of the rear corner where the model and serial is stamped. We'll see.

Does not look like any Snap-on box I have ever seen.

even if was a limited edition or something of that sort they still never dressed up the drawer liners like that. only changed color or glance effect

I would not think that Snap On would have ever made a limited edition box on one of their entry level, small boxes.
The center drawer is crooked, the whole box looks like some cheap DIYer box, that someone had the bright idea of doing some presidential engineering on.
"the seller claims that it is "packed" so he cannot give a pic of the model number." I guess that precludes him from looking on the back of the box.

Same Box, No????
Kinda strange that The Ebay seller is from Ellettsville, Indiana and the Craigslist ad is from Bloomington, Indiana.... Less than 8 MILES APART......
The odds would have to be in the millions for a supposedly 30+ year old box that is the same color and in such good condition, and only 8 miles apart... Let alone one has a Snap on Emblem and the other does not!
Wondering if someone around there has a cottage industry there badging and selling these 25th anniversary boxes...
I am going to call Shenanigans....
Need Deafautotech to saddle up the Hog and check this one out!!!
