Mystery Snap On box/display?

[Jason280]

Ok, Snap On experts...I came across this older Snap On item today, and I couldn't figure out what its supposed to be. Any ideas? Any guesses on age?

I'm pretty sure it is a meter holder. From the 60's.

Do you own it?

Not yet, working on it...trying to figure out a fair price.

Its a cash holder for a Snap On truck. After he makes the rounds on Payday's they need someplace to stack all the cash up.

Any guesses on a fair price?

How much are they asking for it? Me thinks the market is pretty limited on that, not much usefulness in modern times.

I would probably pay 30/40 bucks tops... If I had a use in mind for it.

 

[Jason280]

They are asking $35, I plan on offering $25...

COuld be cool for holding drill bits I agree with the above post in terms of fair price.

I never realised Snap On made handbag racks!

I'd use it to display and hold my classic late 60's Hotrod magazines

Not quite big enough to hold regular sized magazines...

Did you end up buying it?

I had one of those with slightly different compartments.

Not yet, guy is asking too much at this time....I'm waiting until it gets down to $25.

I'd agree, personally I wouldn't pay more than $5 maybe $10 for it. Why?, yea it is neat, but usefulness is pretty low. At least with an old regular tool box you can use it as intended. This thing is just a space taker-upper IMHO.

I agree, but I do believe it would be worth $25....but not a penny more.

I agree, Jason's avatar is too distracting.

You think the avatar is distracting, you should try sitting next to the young lady while monkeying around on Garage Journal...

Looks like an old display rack.
I would easily pay atleast $50 for it. Never seen it, resto would be easy, doesn't seem big.
