Help identifying older Snap-on toolbox

[tyranena]

Can someone help me identify which model toolbox this is? Haven't had luck finding this specific configuration. currently packed away in a storage unit and can't readily get to the back of the box.

It should have a permanent sticker of the side with all the information if it's a real Snap On box.

Yeah, I'm suspecting it is not a real snap-on. do you know which end would have the sticker? I thought it was on the back.

Look on the back of your tool box and record the markings. This first stylized number or symbol is the year of manufacture. The next is a "K-series" number, including "K," "KT," "KR," or "KRA." This identifies the specific type and size of box. The final series of numbers is the product number.

​

Compare this to the date chart on the website Collecting Snap-on. Each model year after 1927 has its own special way of listing the year, using a stylized number or symbol.

​

Access the relevant catalog on the website. Choose "Catalogs" then pick your year range from the drop-down menu and then the specific year.
Browse the catalog to find your product. The model number should be listed starting with the "K." Most catalogs have a picture and description, including measurements.

Used to be a guy at the day job that bought one of those in the early 2000’s. I think they called it a heritage line or something.

Snap-On boxes do have a sticker on them but it's far from permanent. Mine wiped completely off one day while I was cleaning my box. It's just ink printed on a sticker. A previous owner could have removed it all together.. don't let the lack of a sticker concern you.

From the pictures, to me it looks reasonable that it could be a genuine box. The drawer slides, drawer locks, and caster style all look identical to what is on my box.

I flipped through an older catalog of mine (#1100, not sure of the date) and found this box from the Heritage series. Looks quite similar.

Take the bottom drawer out. There might be a sticker inside on the bottom of the box.

Unicorn hunt !

I got a K545,,,Canadian made but the Snap On stamping on the back does not include the year as you reference. Maybe year only included on US made boxes?
