I thought the handle looked like old SK but the head thru me off!!

Chrome Alloy (S-K) 4070 1/2-Drive Forged-Handle Reversible Ratchet
Fig. 10. Chrome Alloy (S-K) 4070 1/2-Drive Reversible Ratchet, with Inset for Side View, ca. Mid 1930s. Fig. 10 shows a rare early 1/2-drive "Chrome Alloy" 4070 reversible ratchet with a forged body, marked with the "Chrome Alloy" brand commonly used for S-K's contract production. (See the later section on Brazil Tools for more information on this brand.)

The overall length is 10.6 inches, and the finish is plain steel.

The model 4070 ratchet was a ruggedly made tool with a number of commendable features, including a relatively fine 28-tooth movement, low backdrag, and a soft-acting reverse switch free of spastic movement during operation. Had it not been for the introduction of S-K's hugely successful 42470 (and related) fine-tooth ratchets, the model 4070 might have become quite popular and sold in large quantities. However, as it turned out this model was soon superseded by the 4270 Forged-Handle Ratchet, which incorporated the popular new fine-tooth mechanism.

I have the same one.I believe Moparhound PM'd me looking to buy it if your interested in finding a sale for it.Someone told me there was some collector interest in this style,not sure if it's true or not.

I saw one like that on ebay a few months ago. I did not bid on it because the bearing plate was tweaked. Normally I can fix the plate if it is not too bad. But that ratchet is riveted, so you cannot remove the plate to fix it.

What did it sell for??

Something like 50 cents...........

Interesting because Duro had the patent for a pressed flange ratchet, per AA. But Duro did not use rivets.
