First Post - Second Snap-On purchase

[beaucephus]

I'm a sucker for vintage stuff so I couldn't resist this Snap-On KR-300D on Craigslist. It seems to check out well with only a little rust in the bottom lip and one of the drawers. It should clean up well. Not bad for a 50+ years! The only fault I've found is the logo doesn't seem original since the placement is off.

What did you pay?

The badge and its location are actually correct for that year. Also interested in price paid. Nice box.

 

[beaucephus]

$150.

Great box and pretty decent price, I'd LOVE to have one of those boxes there one of my favorite style Snap-On's.

Those roll up fronts are truly gorgeous.

That's the first Snap on box I've seen with that drawer configuration. I think you did good.

It wasn't a steal, but seemed fair based on the number of "#$@ you" responses to those that got one cheaper. It was a functionality based valuation on my part. I couldn't find anyone selling anything for less.

It cleaned up OK. I'm keeping the original finish. I had to spray paint an inner drawer due to some corrosive material rust spots.

I would have been happy to pay what you did for that box.
