Is this bottom box a Snap On?

[930dreamer]

I looked on Collection Snap On and didn't see it?

Maybe a KR-300B

Looks like a 300 to me. IIRC, there is A, B and C models. Some had steel tambour, others aluminum.

Yep. It is. Grab it before I find it first. lol

I sure like the kr-300s

 

[930dreamer]

I like the 9 drawer config best.

I like that slide down door

I like that slide down door

I thought I liked it too, but I haven't seen the tambour on mine in twenty years. Not much value added in a home shop where I don't lock up.

I close mine pretty often, no reason other than it looks cool

Looks great! Needs a little bit of love.
I hope you got it for a good price!

There are 3 different generations posted here. OP's being the earliest and designated K-300. The badge script, all metal wheels and should be light are the indicators. That one never came with drawer options, just the stock 6 drawers. Late 40's to very early 50's.

The top box is newer.

I like the top chest too. I have that stack and still use it

I still have and use my late father's two drawer middle section, which looks similar. He got it in the mid-50's and likely bought it used off the Snap On truck.

I have seen that chrome logo on boxes from the 50s all the way up to 68

I just picked up a late 40's / early 50's (no stamp) KR-53 (pictures in the Vintage Toolbox thread), so I would love to find a matching bottom!

Do you mind sharing how much this one is selling for?

I am in Phoenix FWIW.
