I got a set of sockets today. I assume this is 2 combined sets and some random sockets on top. The darker one might be the original set though it might be a combination of lighter and darker sets originally. Most likely the set is 30s-40s, but I am not sure. The four additional sockets were Craftman BE, PLVMB, New Britain and underline Husky from New Britain Period.
Does anybody know who made the original set.
Is it something rare or common?

Here is my Indestro version. Various versions of similar sets have been posted lately. You might check the Duro thread. I added an ell yesterday but I’m looking for a speeder.

Thank you, Oldtuleguy and Don!
This solves the mystery!
Now I need to keep my eyes opened for the missing parts (and probably repaint the outside at some point in distant future...)
Do you have a picture of contents from catalog?

I have that set without the box or the t handle driver. It is the only set I have that has all of the x/32” sizes, even the 23/32”. It also has double male extensions, not shown in the picture. Very good tools.

Thank you, Ricky Joe and Lugz.
I will try to find this list later today. The box is in self-isolation for 7 days in the garage (since COVID I started doing it) - will need to make a list and see what I am missing
