Good gracious you really do have it all

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Snapmom I think has that box, not sure about the stand

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Here's some 1940 metric stuff, 11 through 32mm, missing the 13 and 14mm.

This is a almost impossible set to complete, do u have any spare sockets

 

[Oldtuleguy]

One 22, yours if you want it.

 

[snapmom]

One 22, yours if you want it.

I have the 13 an 14, not spares, but I will trade them for the 22, so you can have a finished set. (there are several that I need) holler at me

 

[Steven 33]

Its the 707 set. never seen the extra stand.

There's actually a bunch of interesting stuff that I have come across and learned about recently. Lots if new stuff to hunt down ha.

 

[Steven 33]

This is what I imagine the Snap-on dealers give to their loyal and long time customers when they start getting forgetfull in their old age ha

I have one of those, but can't remember where I put it..

 

[Steven 33]

Haha exhibit A! ... I do hope that was intended to be a joke ha

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I have a slotted and a phillips still sealed. Look much nicer than the ones they hand out now.

I got a whole pile of those a while back from somewhere I forget where but they definitely went down hill. I remember I did pretty good on the gold spackle ones to. Not sure if those were giveaways or not. And I have no idea what the point of sale was for these other trinkets. Got a bunch of pens and razors watches, cups, straws, playing cards ect. I have been on the truck probably once ever and left with a ****** air compressor powered pressure washer like one screw driver and negative 300$ but hey I did get a little coin for free ha.

 

[Steven 33]

Here's a pretty cool set of older screwdrivers

 

[Steven 33]

Can anyone tell or show me what the oldest refrigeratoration set looks like? Wondering if it's something I should go after. The ratchet is early 30s

 

[snapmom]

Probably about 1930, until about 1950

 

[Steven 33]

Probably about 1930, until about 1950

You ever find a set for the f7 one? Isn't that one 9/32 drive as opposed to 1/4 or no?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

13 and 14mm sockets arrived for the 1940 metric set. Thanks snapmom I am sure you saved me from a lengthy search!

 

[B Halverson]

Well, here is what I think is a salesman's sample Snap-on timing light that is pretty cool and pretty old;

 

[Steven 33]

How does everyone set these sets up? Would love to see some examples. I want to go close to how it's meant to be but not 100% and I probably will want to fill with stuff slightly earlier than 36

 

[Steven 33]

What date code is this? Looks like a 4 but not the usual 4 for 34. Also here's the temp setup for the midget set

 

[vwpieces]

Recently acquired this S-71 1/2dr ratchet. Appears to be unused. For the life of me I can not find a marking to indicate a date.

Man that set is looking pretty good already

 

[Private Lugnutz]

What date code is this? Looks like a 4 but not the usual 4 for 34.

I think it just got squished in a strenuous stamping. It can't be 1944, the 1954 "4" has a bracket on the bottom, and is tool late for that wrench anyway, and most of the Blackmar patent (1922) licensed tools (Snap-on, Bonney, Williams, etc) are 1930's.

I guess it's only made in 37 and I now see how it could be a bungled up 7

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Almost looks like two 7s, one upside down over the other

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Here is one I have been collecting

Dang it dude

 

[Ricky Joe]

It is 1934.

 

[Ricky Joe]

Two 4s and a 5. My 5 is also on the 5/8”.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Thanks for confirming, RJ.

I guess it's only made in 37

You have to be careful with drawing conclusions based exclusively on collectingsnapon.com, or AA, or any site that tends to be empirically insular. GJ is not the bible, either, but it is an open book, and casts a wider net.

Yea i should know better ha

 

[d42jeep]

Here is a recent FH-1214 garage sale find now living in my user box. Looks like a 1950 date code.

[30-30remchester]

42jeep, I as well have some of this style of wrenches. I picked them up at a yard sale this summer for one dollar apiece. And like any set of anything you buy used, one seems to always be missing. This set in no exception to the rule. The 1/2×9/16 is nowhere to be found.

 

[30-30remchester]

It doesnt seem to want me to post the pictures today.

 

[30-30remchester]

Here they are. Does anyone have a 1/2x9/16 laying around they aren't using?

 

[Jacobs976]

Snap On 196 needle nose pliers I found in a scrap pile along with a pair of vacuum grip side cutters I picked up at a flea market a few years back.



No date code but vacuum grip has one.


Overall both are actually in good condition. Needle nose has wear on lettering but intact jaws while vacuum grip has been banged around but also has intact jaws.

 

[Steven 33]

First m5 I've seen with a date code older than like 31

 

[Steven 33]

Pretty early for 1-1/2 drive. (Not mine) it's on fb marketplace in NY

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Sweet! Hard to find 1.5" stuff.
