Hey, guys! I was at the flea as usual and happened upon this Snap-On toolbox... I asked the guy how much he wanted for it! He said "quince" in Spanish and being the white boy that I am proceeded to count with my fingers in Spanish uno, dos, tres.... then I forgot what came after 10... 
I then asked him what it was in English he said; "fifteen", I countered with how about 10? NO! Umm, how about 12? NO! 14? NO!... then I related how this was a flea market and had to try! I **** as negotiating! LOL! I whipped out the $20 and got $5 back! It was mine!
Interesting design, this thing weighs a TON! I had to keep switching arms when carrying this thing around the flea market! By the time I got to my car; my arms kinda hurt! The box itself is Snap-On Part # KRA-21C and with a date code of '77.
Who ever had this thing, apparently was a 70s/80s Motorcycle mechanic or racer; the two stickers are; (left) "C/C Engineering" with a logo that looks like a drag street bike and (right) "MRA" Mountain Road Racing Association with a classic "cafe racing works bike" for a logo (remember when they called them that? I must be getting old!). There are other stickers which are partially torn off; does the other one look like "Pennington Racing"? Any of you vintage motorcycle racing guys recognize these stickers or companies?
Once you undo the two latches; there is a top tray and flip down front door.
The top try is removable and with the door flipped down; there are two pull out drawers.
Two pull out drawers; top has metal dividers and bottom is normal open space.
Classic slanted "Snap-On Tools" logo.
With the tray out; this is in the "down" position, so that it fits in the box when the top is closed.
The tray itself is Snap-On Part # KTA-3A and with a date code of '77.
Here is the tray in the "up" position; when carrying around or using!
Rear view; this box was definitely used, has dings, bent sheet metal but is fully functional! Is the partially torn off sticker look like "Pennington Racing"?
Side view; the box has nice side handles, if you fill this thing up I don't know if you can carry it by yourself; much less empty! I tell you this thing really is heavy duty!
