Snap-On Tool Boxes scored on Craigslist

[a5t1]

I scored some Snap-On boxes on CL. Sorry about the poor quality pictures, only had my cell phone. They've already been sanded and primed and painted. When I get some more time I'll post the updated pictures...drawers are up next. Does anyone recognize this snap-on logo badge? Is the coloring correct?

Correct Coloring?

Needs a touchup:

top box:

bottom two boxes, not in bad shape

You've gotta tell us what you paid if you want to get a, "You ****!" award.

Do all the drawers slide well, locks work, etc?

It came with keys, working locks and about 10lbs of misc. dies, a wrench, screws, etc that had fallen back behind the drawers.

They weren't dirt cheap, paid $200.

That's a good score, maybe not a "you ****" score, but more a "well played" score.

That logo looks like the ones on my vintage Snap-On boxes.
The top box looks the same as mine, too.
Mine were purchased new by me in 1978/79.

Can't wait to see yours restored.

Nice score on those SO boxes! I think you did really good at 200$!

Good pickup!

It's like I always tell people, just keep an eye open, those 70's vintage top brand boxes are out there.

Set of casters and some paint, and they're good for another forty years!

I'll attach some more pics tonight. Boxes were sanded, primed, painted, wet sanded and then painted again. Not perfect but came out pretty well. Finished sanding all the drawers last night, hope to have them painted this week...
