My first post here! I've been lurking around drooling at the older toolboxes.
I found what looks like a K300 Snap-on and some new-ish Craftsman box. I've been expanding my garage capacity to work on my car more, so these will be greatly appreciated.
If anyone happens to have spare handles for the Snap-on...well, I could use four. Yikes. Maybe I can still get these from the company new? Either way I'll either have to fix up the patch job on that bottom drawer and replace the slides, or just find a new bottom drawer. Here's a closeup of the damaged section. Everything else is great, if a bit hole-y.
Can anyone confirm if it's a 40s model? It has the red sliding door that I think means it's early forties and I can't find any model numbers on the back. Both the emblems got yoinked off before the sale...can't win them all. The paint is so-so, but maybe a buff out will do it good. I had to drill out about a million rivets, so I see welding in this boxes future along with a nice strip to bare metal and respray along with modest bodywork. Value isn't a huge concern to me because I'm planning on keeping these long-term, so I'd rather keep them from getting rusty.
