Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

[Steven 33]

Same year it looks like but one each is not guar and the others non rpl

Help ID this set? K60? Seller is asking $5K with the tools.

Does anyone know if this set sold?
How much?

Finally snagged a late 40s early 50s KR-300 with extra drawers. The stamp doesn't appear to be in the usual place. Could be that it was lightly stamped.
Lots of grease stains, but the paint brightens up with bronze wool and light oil.
A couple of the drawers a stiff, and I don't yet know if it just needs a cleaning or if the slides are damaged. They still make slides for a box this old, right?

Here my KRH300B Stamped '56. IMO it should be stamped KR300B because it does have the electrical.
I am very pleased with it, shined up nice, had a layer of grey primer all over. I was able to save [mostly] the hand lettering of the original owners name that I exposed.

Went to an estate sale today that had some random boxes of tools. I found a few Snap-on screwdrivers and a couple pairs of Vacuum Grip pliers so I kept digging. Then, I spotted a super beat-up Craftsman rolling chest with a equally trashed Remline top chest.

I found this in the top of the Remline chest!

 

[genog]

Found a little Snap On 1/4 - 5/16 double box end wrench
Pretty darn cool

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Sweet!

 

[KFBR392]

Found these sweet little 105s in a kitchen junk drawer at a house on my brother’s property that was being torn down. Gave them a quick run through the ultrasonic cleaner just cuz. Eat your heart out, mini Knipex Cobras.

 

[hobie18]

Reminds me of sinker crimpers. Nice!.

Fish line sinkers.

 

[Steven 33]

Some cool bluepoint stuff. The screwdriver handles are only in the 32-35 cats that i could see. And the bondo scraper thing I found the marking pretty interesting. Not sure if I've seen any other blue point tools marked as "a Snap On product"

That is a Vixen file for lead

 

[Steven 33]

That is a Vixen file for lead

I mean the part number starts with BF for body file and I didn't call it that either but I hadn't looked at the part number yet when I posted the pic

Either way to me that always has and always will be a "bondo scraper thing" and when i was barely out of diapers and asked growing up by the old school mechanics to grab the bondo scraper thing or the tiger hair scraper thing. I knew exactly what I was grabbing. Just like I knew exactly what to grab when I was told to grab "the pliers" or "the hammer" in a drawer full of em that you can call whatever you want but where I'm from it's either "the" something or a something "thing" depending on the time there might be some extra words tossed in there as well

 

[snapmom]

Some of the older Blue Point Hammers have "A Snap on Product" on the handle

 

[OmegaDPW]

Just found in an old tool box today.

[3baygarage]

Is that a Blue-Point socket spinner?

 

[d42jeep]

I found these two tools at yesterday’s estate sale. A Par-X B016 1/2” combo and a Snap-on B1467A DBE 5/16” x 3/8” wrench.

IIRC, the #105 pliers above were part of the ignition tools set. Back in the days when we used to change points at every tune-up. I had a set of those in the full Snap-On ignition set but they were stolen during a burglary. I replaced my ignition tools in pieces so my current pliers in that style are S-K.

The 5/16" x 3/8" long handled, 6 point box wrench was for brake bleeding. I have one in my brake tools box.

Snap on S9008 ? this looks like a 3 on the last digit, but the S9003 is a socket.
Date code 1930, both openings are 3/4. nine inches long, the bar is thicker than the hammer heads of the period, 9/16"
Not in the cats. It was made for a Ford product, Model number S-90xx was used for ford. Have no idea of its use.

I'm starting to think there's some sort of missing link here with Ford because there's a lot of Ford marked stuff. Like this Odd P71A and p97

 

[Steven 33]

It's kinda a non commital creation of one ha. Just thought if looked cool the handles are pretty rare

 

[snapmom]

the stamped "Ford" items are probably Ford factory markings.

 

[Steven 33]

the stamped "Ford" items are probably Ford factory markings.

That makes sense. It is pretty consistent among other makers like mtf having the exact same markings. I'm just wondering if there's a specific setup that we don't have documentation of. Like the 71 hex series and the p series socket sets. Or maybe there is a reference guide that I'm just unaware of

 

[3baygarage]

New find today. An S-9001 NOT GUAR.
Connecting rod socket for Ford, according to Collecting Snap-On site.

21/32”
1951 date

I must have about 20 different connecting rod sockets across all the brands, and they’re probably hiding in 20 different places. One of these days.

 

[Leviton]

Some odd aircraft? tools. 2252 and 2241. The 2252 is also stamped S6E, so probably 44. the 2241 has no other model number, it is a 7/8 with a holes for a bar. I think these go in a set, but never seen one. They do not have Made in USA stamped on them, but neither do most all of the aircraft tools from this era. They are not hard to find. There are probably more, so if you have any other 22** tools post them.

Although, I'm six years late responding to @snapmom's request, yesterday I found one of these oddball 2241 sockets with no country of origin marking and no date code.
It is a 7/8-inch, 12-point, deep socket

 

[Provincial]

7/8" was standard for the base of large aircraft engine spark plugs from at least mid-WWII. The deep sockets will fit those spark plugs. That part number falls into the period when the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 tools were being introduced. Beyond that, I have no specific information.

Sometimes they used the bluepoint wrench handles for special tools like that. I would guess that's the case here. You can find the corresponding thickness of an offset bluepoint wrench and get pretty close with part number I believe. I have seen duplicate part numbers especially with the A-** when it comes to sockets vs
specialty tool kit tools but I haven't seen any S-9003 sockets. I'd have to take another look but I know from from I have and have seen they usually go from S-9002 and then S-9004. Well oddly enough mine goes s-9002 and then no. 9004 not sure why.

Hi All: picked up a Snap On 71-n Pat # 1854513. Found the date code between the on off switch. It is an E. looked it up and it says for the date Emergency, so I’m wondering does that mean it was mass produced during the Second World War?? Any information appreciated.

 

[d42jeep]

1944
-Don
Mostly 1944 1/4” drive set.

 

[Ayrhead]

Thanks for the prompt response. So, were they mass produced for the war? Why the word emergency instead of 1944?

 

[d42jeep]

I’ve never paid attention to that. The 1945 tools are stamped with a G. There have been very few 1943 dated tools found so the E stamping may have been started in that year as well. Nobody around to ask.
-Don

 

[Ayrhead]

Thanks again Don. Even though one of the tightening head screws is missing it still ratchets pretty nice. Going to go to our Bolt and Nut supplier to see if they have a similar bolt to put into it…

 

[d42jeep]

Here is my 1944 ratchet.

Very nice Don

Linked here is a long, interesting read that I ran into by complete accident. It's Appendix Volume II (a record of hearings testimony and evidence) in Snap-on vs. Federal Trade Commission, Case No. 13592, U.S. Court of Appeals, Sevent Circuit (1962), where Snap-on is challenging an FTC injunction for unfair practices. It is literally all about truck sales in the late 1950's.

Here are some interesting excerpts.

This testimony, from Rogers Palmer, Snap-on's Sales Manager, is insightful...



This is kind of funny... (For context, Snap-on was trying to claim they were a small fry. This is FTC evidence.)



Note that there is a complete list of mfgrs (APCO-Mossberg to Xcelite!) with a coded list of their products, Commission Exhibit 10a-j, on pages 986-1000.

 

[Steven 33]

Working on my specialty sockets still need quite a few

Here are my E marked ratchets.
