Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

Couple of old 9/32 drive whitworth sockets

I got this Snap-On flex socket adapter yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out the date code. It appears to be a '6', but it doesn't seem to match up to the exact shape of any of the 6's on the date charts. I think it may be from 1946 but I'm not sure.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Yup 46

 

[S-K Tool Fanatic!]

Got some sweet snappy stuff from an auction today.

Got this in a box of door knobs for $10

Also got this little snappy screwdriver and a test light I didn’t get a pic of.

My neighbor gave me this one when he worked for Toyota. It was one of my all time favorite tools until I lent it to my daughter. Now it is one of her all time favorite tools.

Not so vintage compared to usual but here's just cool stuff from last haul

 

[3baygarage]

My that’s a lot of handles!

Mr. X- great socket find.

From yesterday’s flea. It was dirty, but could tell it was an amber Octo, not black.

TM4 with a 1949 date.

Name/# on the shank only. Battle scarred handle with Made in USA.

Nice.

Hey, curiosity question. What is the source of your username? Marvel character? Resident Evil character? Just common term for mystery man? Or vintage tools related? I know, you've been here since 2010, and we've had many, many exchanges, why ask now. I was doing some vintage tools research, ran into some funny literature that I had completely forgotten about, and I want to see if you already know about it and just never mentioned it, or if I'm going to make your day.

[snapmom]

Anyone know anything about this box?

FH14 ferret socket. date codes 32-33. 7/16 hexagon plug. For Essex oil fill cap. only shows in the 33 cat.

 

[snapmom]

I need a late 20s 1/2 ferret socket 12 point, has a offset like the one attached. will trade.

Very cool! I've come across a few of those hex sockets but haven't looked into them too much. I may have one of those ferret sockets you asked about in other post. I'll take a look around

 

[Steven 33]

Sp280 with 34 code don't see any in cats that early. I think the first one was Maybe in the 37 supplemental. And here's some m11 sockets with a couple 31 T handles one went through my new industrial tumbler as a test but I'm thinking it's a little too rough on the finish oh well worth a shot

Thanks for the help. Do you happen to have the case in the cat with those specialty sockets you recently got? I wonder if those are around

which sockets are you asking about?

 

[Steven 33]

Another collector showed me where The "Bxxxx" were listed. In the (about 29) Brake Adjusting Supplemental cat.

The ones in this cat the break set toolbox on page 3. Was wondering if you had that case by chance

 

[snapmom]

A set of closed end Weatherhead sockets from 1939. You can find both types with 39 codes.

I have not seen that set, would be nice to find.

 

[Steven 33]

Here's some pretty cool sockets. A little later than I go for to add to collection but might make an exception

Nice Craftsman photo bomb.

 

[Steven 33]

Must have been made to put all my midget sets in

I think, that's the earliest SW socket I've seen.

 

[MR.X]

Hi, yeah, I had to look it up, markings seem odd.

 

[Ricky Joe]

I think, that's the earliest SW socket I've seen.

If it is the Pat. Applied For socket, I’ve got one you can have if you want it. I had two, but Scott Carter absconded with one of them. Let me know. You have always been kind to me.

Picked this up the P on the ratchet appears to be factory and the drive end does have a slight variation from the usual sort of like a mix between the p series and a regular one. Here's a pmu8 next to a regular m70 for comparison

Cool find, X. Not only a straight wall "PAT APPLD. FOR", but a 1929 to 1931 Crash holdover.

 

[Ayrhead]

Hi All: I managed to snag this older Snap On Caster-Camber gauge. Still in the wooden box. Thought it was a pretty Kewl item so I bought it. It will be another tool added into my 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside Pickup for display.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - love the idea of a mobile museum at a car show. Visitors can see the Rampside, AND they can walk up the ramp and enter the tools wing!

I have several and have sold a couple, all seem to have 33 data codes. That one is unusual

For the record, both of the ones I had were dated 1929.

You have some with the P? I'm curious what is different about this one vs yours? Looks like I didn't get it in the pics but this one doesn't have the pin like the p series usually has. It still have detent ball it's almost like they changed their mind halfway through or something
