Hi all. Thanks for this site it has been extremely helpful. But there is one thing that I have not be able to find.

I have decided to try and restore a snap on box. After lots of searching I have finally found one just down the road from my house. Result I thought but I am now wondering of I have a dud.

I believe it is a KC545A that's a big guess as I can hardly fond any information on it. Not even a stamp or date mark.

I will attach some pictures for you

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Matthew

Somewhere on the back, or the left side, should be a snap on stamp with the model number and date of mfg.

I thought that aswell. But I have a good look and can't find anything? I have seen other boxes like this so pretty sure it's genuine. But want to find that mark.

I have literally searched every square inch of it. I just don't want to restore something that is worthless.

Completed a quick restoration. Not 100% perfect as this will be a working box.
