What is this tool box?
« on: July 18, 2018, 08:27:03 AM »
 What is this tool box? At first, I thought Harley, then maybe something British. It looks a lot like some Royal Enfield boxes, but I can only find smooth, not ribbed like this one.

 Get the Suzi decal off it before some bearded biker gets pissed about that..

Looks like they started them in 1940.
Can be had smooth or ribbed, black or chrome.. do you have the key.?

why would they be pissed?  Bearded biker should be happy to see a part they recognize on a bike that actually runs
If it works good, it looks good...

 The H.D. boxes look similar but are elongated. This one is more of a triangle. Royal Enfield is very close, but I've only seen smooth ones.
