Hey guys so I've decided that this fall/winter to keep myself busy I'm going to tackle a restoration of sorts on a vintage tool box that used to belong to my grandfather. I just wasted an entire night at work googling vintage boxes and so far the closest I can find is a Snap on KRA-377. There are no emblems, placards, decals, or numbers that I can see. There is a worn oval sticker in the upper right corner but whatever was there is long gone. This box has survived a tornado and a barn collapse, 15 years of mice, and a cross country move. I'd like to pay homage to my grandfather with a resto as it's the only thing I have from him. Any help is appreciated.

Nrchap: glad to hear you want to restore your Grand dad's old tool box. also happy to see you decided to join Garage Journal and hope you stick around to learn a few more things and share what you know.
can you post this on the vintage tool box thread? also are you able to turn the picture or take a few more and post them there too? i'm not sure what box you own, but if you can take pictures of all the sides, the drawers open and a couple of the slides from the side i'm sure some wise member will be able to help you. it is a different box than I've seen before so hopefully someone will know.
good luck

Hi, welcome to GJ 
If I remember it is a generic basic brand box. Stack On sticks in my mind. Take a picture of the drawer slides, just slide one of the drawers out and take a picture of the side. I'm fairly certain it is not a snap on box. The supports between the drawers tell that.
