Saw this on Craigslist, thought others might be interested. It's not mine. The price is high but I've never seen one before.

K-70. Cool factor A+, practicality factor F-. IMHO of course. Only about 80 years old.

Perfect end table to set my beer on, with a coaster.

that would make a cool end table, restored and with Snap-On logo in a bold contrasting color like black!

Jeaze, can the guy get even ONE pic that shoes the whole thing:

Not terribly practical. Worth $75-100 I'd say.

Why would you want that? I'm just impressed that they took dimensions and presented them in a sensible format.

that has to be uber rare, right?

 

[Flivver250]

Worth buying for the cool factor alone. Shop **** extreme. Negotiate to lowest price and buy it.

I'd be a buyer at around 100-150, but he is shooting for the moon!

Pretty cool. Restored it would make a great decorative piece for a men's area. Sure you could restore it and use it but like others have said I think it would make a better end table.

Cute, lol. Small surface plate could go on there I guess. Beer and cigar table.

It's similar to the size of my side cabinet I put rollers under and use to hold my little bench top belt sander. It would look great restored. The wheels look like they would slide right off the legs if you needed to take them off.

Maybe the seller is like the rest of us, he'll sell it... if the price is right.

and yeah, I don't know what's up with these guys that don't give you even one over all complete shot of an item. In the business it's called an ESTABLISHING SHOT. It helps the viewer rationalize where all the close-up detail shots fit in the big picture. If it's something we see all day everyday then ok, get artsy fartsy with your photos but this is a scarce piece. Show us the front - left side -and top in one shot then the front - right side - and top next, and then the back. For $375 we don't want any surprises.

i think the patina is way cool shows its age yet survived for so long be a shame to ruin it with paint
