Nifty signpainting on old Snap-on 'box

[4xdog]

This one showed up on my local FB marketplace. Nothing special about the toolbox or offer, but I thought the original owner's signpainted name was pretty cool.

Wonder if some Snap-on truckies offered the monograms as an inducement. Here's one probably sixty or seventy years old.

Signage likely recent, "man cave" not a term I'd ever use for garage. "Scothateria" yes...

But "cave man" is ooold! That could easily go to the 50s.

Very cool.
Maybe the brother-in-law was a pin-striper.

Guess the best thing to do is strip that baby down to bare metal and spray bomb it purple.

Who ever painted that was a great sign painter.

If I lifted that drop front I'd expect to find Budweiser inside...

I'd buy that and then legally change my name to Kenny Reichert.

That’s a beauty! Surprising that made it out of the owner’s family. That’d be an heirloom for some.

That is indeed a beauty and the sign painters' art is becoming bit of a vanishing skill given the popularity and cost difference of digitally produced stick-on art. Deserves a place of prominence in the shop. As noted above, surprising it made it out of the family, but as a tag and garage sale fan, it always amazes me how many old family photos and mementos show up at "estate" sales.
