I've increased my Snap On collection by 25 per cent. I only had four items before.

Still cleaning up and found some blobs of rust in the bottom of a very old tool box. They turned out to be sockets when I got the rust off.
One is a Snap On but very odd to me.

It has "made in the USA", it has "Snap On" - with a hole masking off part of the first "n", and it has "3/8W" which says Whitworth to me.
It also has "WSW-102" on it.
It's 1/2 drive.
With all the rust off it's a mottled dark metal finish. Doesn't look as if it was ever chrome.

I've taken half a dozen pics but my skills are just not up to it.

You might try the "macro" feature on your camera; usually a symbol with a flower on it, more info on using macro feature here:

A nice old whitworth. These older types are hard to find. I need the WSW107 and 108 in this type, if you ever run into them.
