What year is my KR562A Taco Wagon?

Post by 909Hemi »

I bought this old Snap-On cart from my neighbors estate sale last month. It's a KR562A and I'm having a hard time dating it.
It has pre-roller guide drawers, and I know you're supposed to date these from the numbers Font, but... seriously: is it REALLY the 1937 vintage box? As you probably know; these boxes were used as aviation mechanics tool carts out on the flightway.
Sorry about the photo of the nomenclature... it's very faint, and this pic is the best of 5 that I took of it in all kinds of differant light.

on your last picture it shows the two digits 79 that is the year of manufacture 1979 so it was sold in 1979 or the early 80's

Okay: it's THAT easy? :D I saw the 79 but I thought that was for something else... I was trying to figure out font styles from the Snap-On date chart... :geek:
Thanks for your help!

I put mine up for sale on ebay, in case anyone's interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNAP-ON-KR562A- ... 19d83662e7

The reserve is less than a buck a pound! :)

Hi

I think it was offered in 1978 - 1980, so I think 1979 is a pretty darn good call
