Interestingly shaped Williams socket

[M-EGT]

Bough this while I was going to pawn shops and an antique store.
Haven't seen this "kettle shaped" socket before. I like the knurling ring though.
Size is 1-3/16, so it fit a space I didnt have, haha.

When did they produce these?

Thanks

I've not seen chrome sockets like that. But at work we use a bunch of high torque impact sockets for tight space areas. Like the drive teeth on crawler side frames, or turn table bearings

Maybe they used the same body as 11/4" and turned it down so it wouldn't have real thick walls.

I think I have that style socket in with my Williams stuff.

It's a 1930's style. If you check AA they have examples.

I'm pretty sure I have a socket like this, have to see if I can find it...

Yup, found it. 1931-1936.
