So you're selling it for $100? or what is it doing here?

 

[Hiball]

Ill take it for $100 bucks shipped..



































LOL.

 

[balane]

Is this local pickup only or are you willing to ship?

 

[WRX/Z28]

Get in line guys. I'm getting told it's "not for sale" first!

 

[BWdiver]

Your right it's not for sale. I was just showing it, sorry about that, it was intended for general tool discussion.

 

[WRX/Z28]

No no, you put it in classifieds. That means you have to sell it! I have paypal ready for that $100.

 

[930dreamer]

That's a nice top box for 100 clams.

 

[Outlawmws]

Wow, what a perfect place to say "You ****!"

 

[Fordman7795]

is it just me or am i dumb....i cant get the pics bigger

 

[BWdiver]

I tried every thing on photo bucket to get them larger to no avail.

whats this type of box worth? it could use a new paint job but believe it or not it still shines. has some old FoMoCo want scrible pads in it.

 

[Outlawmws]

is it just me or am i dumb....i cant get the pics bigger

Something to do w/Photobucket I think...

 

[lbgradwell]

looks like a 1960's box but not sure on that.

There's very likely a date stamp on the back of the unit or on a sticker under one of the drawers...

Nice box.

 

[Packard V8]

Nice box. What is the model number?

Re the photos - FWIW, I'm reminded yet again of why I don't use photohoneybucket. Just **** photo hosting site.

[BWdiver]

put the pics on fliker should be larger now.

 

[fatfillup]

For $100 you got a very nice box that is a part of SO history. Clean it up, put some new drawer liners in it and enjoy. Clean and lube the slides if needed. You will never wear it out. Great buy and you ****!!

 

[BWdiver]

Should I repaint it or leave it alone?

 

[70redbee]

You don't have to paint it for me, just a nice cleaning will do. I sent you payment by Paypal...so when can I expect delivery. Anyway nice score, that is a nice box.

 

[db130]

Dude, your flickr skills are seriously lacking. I FIXED IT FOR YOU.

I expect delivery with a 10% discount. Nice box.

 

[BWdiver]

db130 thank you.

 

[Outlawmws]

Clean it well, and use some rubbing compound on it to see if the finish is salvageable; DON"T apply ANY sort of wax or polish, unless you are convinced you want to keep the original finish. If you decide not to keep the original paint, go for it.

It's not that bad looking, but I can't tell what is grime and what might be rust. I'd probably be painting that if I had it.

 

[regguy1]

I hate bring this up....but I have doubts it's a Snap-On Box.

The top compartment is exactly like a MBC I bought in the 1960's
The drawer pulls are exactly the same and drawer layout is similar
3 point lock system is the same
Drawer dividers in long drawer are the same

Maybe somebody put on an SO logo long ago?

Perhaps some experts in SO boxes can clear this up...did SO ever use MBC as a supplier?
(Metal Box and Cabinet Co. Chicago)

I did that to a Waterloo box that I still own (see photo)

 

[lbgradwell]

Maybe somebody put on an SO logo long ago?

Yep, MBC did. They used to make the boxes for Snap-on...

 

[Packard V8]

I still would like to know the model number. I've never seen one with the double deep drawer on the top right.

[Thumper]

It's a KRA58B Snap-On ....it's shown in the 1965 catalog . My brother bought one new off the Snappy truck in '65...

 

[lbgradwell]

It's a KRA58B Snap-On ...

+1. (10 characters)

 

[Packard V8]

Thought it looked very similar to my KRA59B, just the one double drawer.
