Did the outside restoration. Well semi restored. I didn’t go nuts getting every dent and ding out. I think it cam out pretty damn good and I’m happy with it. I’m finishing up the drawers this weekend.

Thanks for the information sir. I’m going to get started on the restoration today. I don’t like projects sitting around for too long. I never get to them. Is there a paint code to get close to the original color?

It is K23

Not the best, but here you go.

So I recently found a KR23 box out on bulk trash night. I have saved it and would like to restore it. First question is, what is the correct paint code for the hunter looking green on the box? Second question, which decals if any would have been on this box? Any and all help help would be...

Lugnutz, I did not know that about the wrenches. I thought it was weird I wasn't finding info on them. Also, only two pages and the members of this site have given me a wealth of info. It's really appreciated.

I was trying to find pictures of my great grandfathers gas station. He owned a Tydol station in Brooklyn, NY. All I have of his are a set of Cromal box end wrenches from the 1930s. My dad can't recall what the shop looked like. He was too young to remember. I'm moving and may be getting a nice...

Larry, thanks for that link.

Did they have large rollaways like today? Were they made of wood instead of metal? If anyone has photos of some set ups that would be cool if you shared. I see a lot of tool storage from the 1950s to the present, but I do not see much from the earlier days.

I forgot to add these. They sent these to me in the email.

Picked up this late 1950s(according to rep from Kennedy Manufacturing) rolling set up. The original brochure was stuck under the bottom drawer. Unsure as to what I will do with it. My brother needs a toolbox, so I may give it to him.

Kennedy 260 red Mechanic boxes not the machinist boxes. You don't see these for sale too often. Chino, CA - $30 Another in Inland Empire - $50 Grand Rapids, MI - $125

Thanks for the welcome. I'm going to restore it. The roller is from 1970 as is the top box. The clip on shelf seems to be from 1963.

I just bought this set up for $200 today. Yes I'm excited and yes I am happy this board exists.
