Looks like a 1940's Snap-On K-55. For $20.00, you stole it. Congrats & welcome.

Wow...looks great! I like the color. There is a front panel that is part of that box, was it included in your purchase? Also...I've heard of using the hack saw blade trick to release the slides but my efforts have not provided results on my box; can you school me on how you removed the drawers?

Thanks,

KZ

 

[billygreenhaw]

yes there is a front piece unfortunately mine was missing i used a grind-ed down harbor freight screw driver and mine worked it did take a little bit of effort i also used an hacksaw blade on a couple something flexible deffniently works alot better
