I need some help to lD some old sockets please

[Fyrme]

I've got a hand full of old sockets I've dug out of a box in my loft that either aren't marked, or the mark is mostly unreadable. Before I decide to keep or sell these things off, I'd like to be better educated on them. So any info or leads on ID'ing these would be appreciated please.


So not to get confusing, I will put a single socket with multiple pics in its own post. I'm looking for the brand and era.

Also, what is this used for? It's a 1/2" drive
