Snap-On Identification

[RocketKing]

I inherited these two toolboxes after my Grandpa passed. The one is of course a Waterloo but the Snap On does not have any identification number on the bottom right of the back. Is there any other way to identify the box?

Some cool pieces from inside the Snap On

My Grandpa actually inherited the Snap On box when his best friend passed away. When going through the box I found the original owners Union card and checkbook from 1948.

Anybody?

Pretty sure that SO box with the logo is not a SO box at all.

I'm pretty sure it is SO.

Hmmmm... I'm glad we sorted that out.

It is a late 1940's K55R. Looks to be in good condition for its age.

Zkling beat me to it. Here's a couple of links to details:

Wow, I had no idea it would be that old. I guess it makes sense because of the union card I found inside but still surprises me.

Thanks for helping me out!!
