Vintage Snap-On socket trays-Looking for assistance

[NYBODYMAN]

I acquired these two older Snap-On socket trays and instead of them just laying around, I figured I'd clean them up and paint them and then they can at least lay around while looking good

Does anyone know what era they're from and what the original color was for these? There is some red under the handle but I have no idea if that's the original color as they were stripped when I got them.

A quick search indicates 1920-1944 based on the script of the logo.

I was going to say pre-1947-ish. I think some of the tools (e.g., 3/8-drive, for whatever reason) may have started getting the leaning, italicized font before most other tools, but that font was used early and right through WWII and immediate postwar.

If the red is original, then probably late 40s

I'm guessing they were originally red based on the paint under the handles. Any idea what other colors they were?

Looks like a dark green if I'm correct.

Kind of dark gray with a tinge of green
