Both the brown on Kennedy boxes and S-K can be duplicated through Powder Coat.
The green on early S-k can as well. I love restoring them and doing the refurbishing on all the hardware. Not what a lot of collectors prefer but I use my tools and dont want them to be rust and dirty, nor my toolbox.
I am an Alliance HAMB member who never thought of himself as a "collector".
I love old tools and buy them to use, not collect. Started as a kid with Williams Superwrench, went to S-K (which I currently use).
Started restoring old toolboxes gather tools to go in the boxes. Now doing metal...
