dating an S-K tool box

[jowwo]

hello all, This is a great website! I've used it before to find out info on tools. Tonight I decided to quit lurking and join up so I could ask a question.
This is my grandpas old machinist box. I've had it for about 20-25 years. I only have a close up pic of the emblem at the moment. Any ideas on what year it might be?

Looks to be in good shape, welcome to GJ and post more pics!

Seeing the subject line suggests, www.match.com might be a better source. Oh, not that kind of dating. Maybe this thread will help. http://www.thegaragegazette.com/index.php?topic=4639.0. Oh and welcome.

Never heard of dating toolboxes but if that's your thing, more power to ya!

That logo was used for a while . I think most of the 40's n 50's.

I scrolled down the list of topics this morning and thought "hey, somebody wants to date their tool bo...........oh." I should've worded that better. I see I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Thanks for the links fellas. The box is the same as the two links. I don't see the top of the box where it sits but if I remember correctly the handle is like the red one. So I'm going to guess it was made late in the '40s-'57 window.

I have that same S-K box....and it's stuffed with vintage S-K tools!

Cool.
I was trying to remember if there were any tools in this box or the craftsman bottom box when I brought them home. I think they were empty except a micrometer he left in there. I think he kept his tools and I put my tools in there when I got home.

The diamond logo above was registered for in 1932.

I have an S-K TOOLS chrome emblem from a toolbox that I believe dates to the 1960s, and I need some verification if possible... crazy I can find out about 1932 but can't find this logo!

truth be told I am sure a more then a few of us would pick our tool boxes over some of the girls we have dated.
