k23 box?

Post by Snap-on Boy 92 »

Another one of my boxes wondered if this is a earlier one as it does not have draw slides?

Its got two nice transfers on it the last pic uploaded and the one on the front of it, it shows a pic of a long hanlded ferret, and if i had a very good camera not just a ipod you might be able to see under the ratchet transfer is the oval transfer can only see it as theres a bit chipped off. Anyone seen them transfers before?

That large decal is late 30s or very early 40s.

I think that box is from that era, that dark green paint was used then, decals were used then. the ratchet looks like a 71-15 which was in production at that time. would be a K-22 or K-23, depends on the size.

the decal on the front of your box was added by the dealer or the customer - it is a water transfer decal, i have one that has never been applied still on the original backing and i also have another one that was applied to the inside lid of a small tool box - see pictures
