Vintage unknown maker sockets

These were in a full Snap On K21 Tool Box I bought at an Estate Sale. I did not look very much at the contents of the box when I bought it because I wanted the Toolbox.
When I started looking at the contents these sockets immediately caught my attention. First thing I though was early Snap-On because of the small 1/2 mark on each one indicating drive size. But then I noticed no makers mark, even the early S-O over stamp. So I thought perhaps really early before makers stamp, however some are 12 point sockets and I believe all early Snap-On were six point. So I do not know who made them. They are probably early because of the 32nd sizes. Other things in the box were Duro Trapezoid marked sockets, Williams Superwrench, BonEcon, and other items up to newer Snap-On sockets so they could be of any time period 1920s- 1950s. Any help would be appreciated.

Even the model numbering scheme is 32/nds based. The "14" in "T14" is 14/32 (or 7/16"), for example, and so forth. Note no "T" prefix for the 18 and 31 sockets which are 6-pointers. The "T" prefix apparently indicates 12-point.

Read through this thread. I am not saying it's the answer. But it's tingling somehow! The Husky stuff posted near the end is the only other mfgr I have seen mark the drive size with a little "1/2" suffix stamp like that, other than Snap-on.

Thanks Lugnutz. I already found that thread. I spent a couple of hours trying to research these before posting. These just 'sorta' fit the Snap-on mold but not quite right to me. And they sorta fit the Husky look also especially the way the 3 and 2 look.
The I and T stamp somewhat look like hand stamps.

They are husky. Different marking for different years and different sets. I could use some to finish a set if selling

I do not have any older Husky stuff for these to go with. What do you need?
I have the sets I just need the sockets. I'm not missing all those but would definitely help me complete sets that are tricky to finish as they can be hard to identify

I really have no interest in keeping them. Do you want all of them?
