Is this a real Snap On box?

[y20dth]

Hi everybody,

Since I've been on this forum I've become more and more interested in Snap On. I have found somebody selling what he claims to be a Snap On top box in Holland.
Could one of you guys tell me if it is a real Snap On, and maybe what is would still be worth, considering the condition?
I can't copy the pics, so i will have to just link:

Don't think it's a proper snap on box, i'm really sure what its worth though

How can you tell?
What do you look for?

It may be a Snap On. Everything about it looks to me to be a Snappy, except for the drawer pulls. Either way, I'd say between $100-150 in US dollars.

Could it be an old Stack On box?!? I was in my grandma's garage today and it looks like it has the same drawer handles as her old Stack On box....

Are there any serialno. I can ask/look for?
I thought the drawer handles look different from the ones I have seen here also.

I think it's legit; maybe a KRA-56 or KRA-57. If it came from Canada it might be called a KC-516.

Looks like a older craftsman or stack on with chrome door edging on the draw pulls.

The model number will be stamped on the back of the box.

Look closely on the back, esp. in the corners for a manufacturer stamp like this...

I've send an E-mail asking for a pic of the serial-nr and -type. We'll see what happens.

The drawers look similar to the ones on my old "taco wagon" rollaway... Looks like late 60s early 70s to me...

Could be a silly question, but "taco Wagon" = Snap On ?

 

[BlindViper]

Tacos are normally have draws on the front and the end of the box. They look very goofy, hard to miss.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

The Snap On taco box is the roller in this picture...

It has drawers on the front and side, and on the back there is a special compartment as well. It's like they took a square rollaway and fused a regular rollaway to the side of it.

That looks Identical to the Beach box sitting in my shed, Just the my drawers are red.

 

[billymade]

Ahh, yes... I stand corrected; I guess mine is the precursor to the "taco wagon", the Snap-On Catalog called mine a "Industrial Roll Cab". Looking at a old Snapon catalog; the taco wagon was called just a "roll cab"... "taco wagon" sounds more interesting! LOL!

Could be, maybe an MBC box, those side handles look familiar to me but I can't place them. Here's an older Snap-On box I have, I see some similarities.

 

[TheDukeofDeere]

I've heard the term thrown around, but that is the first time I have seen a Taco Wagon.

I'm really digging the Taco Wagon. It would be fun to make your own Taco Wagon like I have seen a few people do in the "Toolbox" thread.

I'm interested to find out if this box is a Snap On box, looks very similar to Mickey's box.

I am pretty sure that box IS a Snap-on, when I worked for a big name engine builder he had a top box very much like that. The box likely dates from the early 1960's The drawers have been painted black by somebody but it is a Snap-on box
