What I do is, use my phone to take a picture, then email it to myself. Open picture. Start Windows snipping tool. Select New, then capture what you want to post. Paste the picture by hitting control-v to paste, you can just cntrl-v in this reply area.
I'd love to see that tool box.
Never seen one that old. How many years has Snap On been around?
After doing it a few thousand times it becomes second nature. My Deleted folder has about a million emails from myself with a subject line of “q”.You sound like my daughter explaining this stuff to me. This is me listening to her.
Me too 100%
My son daily uses his great grandfathers Snap-On tool box of, probably, the same era as yours (1930's).
Here is a couple pictures I found of a K-260. They call it the art deco Snap-On box, and from the way it is built it is easy to see where it gets the name. There are posts on The Garage Journal about the K-260, it is pretty much the holy grail of old tool boxes. I read on GJ that the K-260 was the very first box Snap-On sold that was painted red. I also read somewhere the guys that own one don't really use it much because it is too small. I thought the collectingsnapon.com website might have some info on it but all they say is it is highly desirable and was the top of the line, Snap-On sold it between 1939-1946.

That had to be state of the art, of the day.
Even to this day. Just need a new paint and nobody wouldn't noticed it's form the 30s
