1956 Snap-On toolbox

[Big Bad Pete]

I went to a swap meet this morning with my dad and brother. They didn't find much but, I came home with this Snap-On tool box for $50. It has been well used but, not abused. I'm going to give it a quick clean up and put it into service. Judging by the stamping it was made in 1956.

Very cool box. Looks like an old KR-57 road chest

Every scratch and dent tells a story. It would be a shame to restore it. You have the right idea by cleaning it and filling it up again

Wow. $50 is a steal. When I see these up on kijiji around here they're $150 or more. Nice grab!
