In the 1920s, Snap on was experimenting with different marketing and sales ideas, One idea was to sell custom configured boxes of tools for specific cars. There was a catalog describing these in the catalog section. These are rare, few were sold and fewer survived. This box looks to be an overstock item that was never used, or used very little.
Bob Pier of Sandusky Ohio owned this. It came to Bob from his father. Dad got into the tire, battery construction, and auto accessory business probably around 1920 and ended up as a Sohio Dealer in Jackson, Ohio.
The picture is mostly self explanatory and no doubt pretty run-of-the mill, but the tools have always intrigued Bob. As you can see, there are 13 hex sockets running from 3/8 to 1inches, and 9 square sockets running from 7/16 to 1 inch. Everything in the metal case is a Snap-on product.
You will notice that there are two diagonal separators in the two front corners which hold the universal and the ratchet and if you look carefully you can see the remnants of a paper label underneath the tools.
There is no evidence that there was ever a handle attached to the case. The catalog is not exact about these, and the frame is not a Model Ford, but exactly what it is, is not clear,
