Recently scooped this up

[Big League Drew]

So basically, I like to collect rust.
Recently picked up this old box. Currently in the process of deep cleaning.
I believe this is a 1940's snapon k300 Rolla bench. My understanding is that the slanted snapon logos are older than the square badged red door k300's, if anyone has more info that would cool.
It seems to have had one of the badges removed, unfortunately. Found a replacement, but its beat to ****.
Anyway, just wanted to share. Will try and post again when its back together, and cleaned.

errrr... a Snap-on box should have the part number and manufacturing date stamped on the back of the cabinet.

Welcome to the site, @Big League Drew

you'll want to keep this link handy

and this one too

HERE is the big "tool box" thread (we need photos of your work)

and HERE is the big "Snap-on" thread (where you'll want to show it off when you get it all gussied up.)

and Happy National FRIED CHICKEN DAY!

Right on, thank you. I'm not sure snapon boxes this old had part numbers stamped like they do now. But looking at it again, I think it might be early 50's.

^ Should be a number on it somewhere. I don't know jack about Snap-on (other than it's really spendy.)
One of the other guys will know all the answers no doubt.
Mine is stamped on the rear of the cabinet.
