I have to agree with you. It's about 130 miles from me. I would buy it if the price was right. I have cash for something like that, but not $3K. I don't think I have anything that he would accept in trade. Just a couple of K61/KR300 stacks and a Remline stack.
These are my first Snap-On boxes. I picked up all four of these within the past 10 months.
I picked up the early 50s K61 for $40, as it was coated with black paint. I took a chance that I could remove the black paint and preserve what was left of the original red. So far so good. Just need to...
I got this early 1950s K61 in February for $40. I've been slowly removing the black paint. Now I just need to buy a lock and work on the drawers.
I'm thinking about removing the handles. Anyone have a good source for the rivets? I tried McMaster-Carr and Grainger. I found some that were *almost*...
Finally snagged a late 40s early 50s KR-300 with extra drawers. The stamp doesn't appear to be in the usual place. Could be that it was lightly stamped.
I waited a week, and the price dropped quite a bit. Hard to pass up, even if the paint is in rough condition.
Lots of grease stains, but the...

Lots of grease stains, but the paint brightens up with bronze wool and light oil.
A couple of the drawers a stiff, and I don't yet know if it...
I missed out on this one back in October due to work, and I've been kicking myself ever since. It was located in northern Indiana. I found a later one (1956), but I prefer the older badges and the KR431 drawer add-on.
Anyone here grab this one? If so, send me a message when you get ready to...
Speaking of Rem Line, I picked up this top box and mid box over the summer. Had the bottom box for a long time now. I couldn't find a mid box with the old logo to match the others. All the examples near me were in really bad shape. This is works for now.
I was holding out for the 10 drawer...
Been a while since I posted anything.
On Sunday I drove 8 hours round trip to pick up this KR300. They don't come up too often where I am so I jumped on it. Paid $250, and I consider that a fair price.
The K61 I picked up about a month ago. Might have paid $200. I don't remember. The exterior...
