Sk tool cart

[Oldtuleguy]

Found this early sk toolcart. No sk plate, but has remains of decal. Any ideas on age?

Wow never knew they made a cart that early. Judging by the decal that would be 1930s if I am not mistaken. Don would know for sure.

Very nice S-K cart.

They made some off boxes back then if I remember correctly. I remember tackle boxes and old film reels boxes. Are we sure it's a tool cart?

Great cart! I believe that S-K used that decal combined with that green color through WW2. They transitioned to the riveted on metal label shown at the top of the picture after the end of the war.

So maybe prewar?

It might be slightly prewar, particularly if the handles and other trim pieces look to be chrome plated. I have an even earlier socket set box that is actually originally black.

I found it in the tool archives 1943 war issue catalog. It is listed as a tool workbench cabinet, and the page is stamped "suspended"

Yep, there it is.
