oldford Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have a puzzle that I hope some of you can help solve. I bought this toy display case years ago and don't know anything about it. It is 36" wide, 12" high and 9" deep with a plexi front cover. The top of the case says Snap-On Building 1. I have googled the case and cannot find anything about it. When was it made? How rare is it? Any info would be helpful. ThanksFrank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredKnightfan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hey Frank, I can't answer any of your questions because I don't know either ... HOWEVER, that is AWESOME! Seems it is a vintage display case from Snap-On Tools, formerly Snap-On Wrench Co. Not sure if this will be of any assistance to you or not, but I found these ebay items:http://www.ebay.com/bhp/snap-on-diorama Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve"My eyes to the seasons" __ David Cook __ 'Light On' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 As far as rarity is concerned, it's more than likely a one-of-a-kind. I believe it is a relatively recent (within the past 20 years) build, as I know that there was a gentleman offering to build them in any configuration the customer wanted. Usually with miniature posters/sales literarture/ signs, etc. on the walls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbuick Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Snap On sold these 13-15 years ago. Cant remember, I have one or two. They made several types and were to entice mechanics to display there Snap On trucks. Most of the toy trucks where given away on a -but his tool set- and receive a free model Snap On truck. So there was a big expense to get the trucks, unless someone needed the tool set and you could get the truck ( that's what I did)Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I went to a snap-on collectible forum that I found and no one there had seen one. Thanks for the tip... Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
