Yes. GJ member Shelbylex has one. Here is some information on it.

S-K RED TOOL WAGON

Good evening, everybody Slightly more than I month ago I bought an unknown box in Denver, Colorado. FJ432 found the box and then helped me bring it to Boston. It looked somewhat familiar, but we could not quite put it together. It reminded us of Blackhawk style, Herbrand style, etc...

If you do a search “S-K roller” some info is on the Toolbox thread. I’ve never run across one.

Did S-K ever offer a lower roller cabinet?

This one isn’t super vintage, but it is a 26” intermediate section for a roller cabinet.

I found a virtually unused Powr-Kraft socket set at an estate sale on Friday. It was supplied to Wards by Thorsen.
Here is a very similar set from the basement supplied by Wright.
They are now in the Powr-Kraft set drawers in the basement.
I found the Exxon oil can and added it to the display.

A couple more hose nozzles for that display.

^ still kickin' myself for chopping that padlock off of that box, Don, but every time I walked by it, it bit my ankles!

Around the end of last month I found an auger bit set at an estate sale. The box needed a bit of repair but was loaded with bits.I started cleaning up the bits and glued up the cracks in the box. I had previously found a smaller version of the same box. I got it out of the basement for some photos.
The boxes were IDed as being made by a gentleman named Bartlett from New Jersey. The bulk of the bits in the new set were marked L.S.& T. Co, a previously unknown company.
Here are all of the wood box auger sets now located in the basement.
The sets in place.

Thanks to four_cycle for the thread title suggestion. Since the Omicron surge had discouraged my Wife and I from going to local sales, I decided to finally clean out the basement, a project that I had put off for more than a few years. My goal was to display and store my vintage toolsets which had kind of taken over the garage. I also wanted to dig out Grandpa Al’s old wooden toolbox, which had come with the house, and put it back into service. One of the first projects I tackled was to load up the Plomb toolset tower that my buddy had made out of my redwood scraps, previously shown on the Plomb thread.Next I moved onto cleaning out the old toolbox in anticipation of filling it with some vintage tools. I actually found a few old Plomb tools inside it in the past.I loaded up the top area with some Barcalo tool rolls before finishing up the cleanup. It was the first time the floor had been clear in years.
Next, after finishing up the cleaning it was time to add some toolsets.

Nice looking displays Don! I missed this thread until this morning. It looks like you put in a lot of work.

Thanks, Roy. Several Plomb items for you to check out. Mine pales in comparison to your collection though.

I found kind of a cool Singer oiler at a warehouse clear out in Berkeley on Saturday.
I removed oil residue inside and out but the patina I left alone.
Added it to the oiler display.
Due to oiler overload, I had to add an oiler annex on the next cabinet over.
