I sent you a PM with my email address. Posting photo's here is tough, but Frank's directions are accurate. It's easier if you take lower resolution pictures, that way you don't have to reduce the size as much to get under the size limit.

This is an addition to my first inquiry on June 1st regarding my Snap-On tool cabinet. It looks just like the 300 Roolabench on Catalog 5, Page 5 of 1948 EXCEPT my cabinet does not have the open space at the bottom. My drawers go all the way to the bottom. Otherwise, I think I have pretty well nailed it down to around 1948. I still have good pictures to e-mail to one of you fellows to possibly post for me. I was unable to make it happen. Regards, Pepflyer

That's a beautiful box! You have the KR431A optional lower drawers.

Take a look at the 1958 Catalog. The logo on the box you have first came into use around 1955 or so. The handles appear to be ribbed,which were made by the American lock company, held on by alloy steel rivets, which helps to put it prior to 1958, though there are exceptions. That style of the 300 B, or D, was replaced by the 300 C in about 1961. Distinguishing features during that era on the 300's (1955-1961) would be limited to the attached light fixture, and the conduit box for the power chord input. If you have these, take a picture, email it to me, and I'll post it here for you.
