Mini Snap On box

[Glassdave]

Hi all new guy here. I found your site searching the net for a good place to post this. I am on another forum for boats and bought this from another member and cannot find any info on one this old. It was made in the early eighties and was before they started manufacturing "collectables" and as i was told was given to my friends brother who was a Snap On salesman at the time as an award or something. Pretty cool piece and i actually have the full size version that i bought right about then when i got out of high school. I vaguely remember stopping by the local branch office and seeing one of these but was told they were not for sale. Its about 27 inches tall by 13.5 inches wide, pretty heavy to for such a small box. I have seen other small Snap On boxes on Ebay but they were made in the late nineties, much smaller and manufactured as a collectable. This, i believe, is something different (or maybe not lol) . . . . . anyone ever seen one like it?

yep, thats the one. Funny thing is i bought a 65th anniversary top an bottom box right about the time this was new. I never used it and its just been sitting in storage, i am in the custom fiberglass biz and did not want to ruin it. I bought the twin to your box used off the Snap On truck to use in the shop. Now i am gonna hafta restore lol. . . . . . oh and find yet another box


I sent this pic to my buddy and said i got a new box, waited for a reply and sent the pic of it by the trailer

Made in '83 or '85, If it was awarded to a dealer, there should be a plaque attached to the front of the top box.

i made my side box out of what I think was a display model or a kids toy. It is made by AllTrade. I welded a flange on the side to hang it off of my middle box. It is not touching the fridge below at all. It hangs freely.

That's an awesome collectible or a box for a kid!

Thinking about selling the mini box. Any thoughts on what it's worth? I have searched regularly and have not seen another.
