Can someone please identify these sockets

[Tony Zottola]

Got these two sockets in a toolbox full of tools today. At first I thought Snap On , but it has no other markings besides the size .

Looks like possibly early Indestro sockets. You might check the Duro-Indestro section of Alloy Artifacts.

What about this one? Can anyone help identify it?

1st 2 are most likely duro or indestro. Last one looks to be Herbrand.

I'd like to add one to this thread bump. Half drive 3/8" 12 point socket. I don't recognize this style, but it seems unique enough that someone probably will. I'm guessing that R U N was owner added, but the letters are stamped in a uniform way... does anyone know who made this?

If that's the Rounded H logo, it's pretty crude. Would it be a early version?

Kind of a tweener, before they dropped the knurling

@The Bean -
H in a circle = Hinsdale

@Mintgrun -
that R A N is amazingly perfect in respect to how it was stamped into tool steel, notwithstanding the off-a-bit spacing.

On a curved surface, no less! I have another socket on which someone tried to stamp their initials, but the steel was too hard and the stamps barely left a mark. That's what makes me wonder if it was stamped at the factory.

I tried a little searching using "R U N" in the description, but didn't get anywhere. I wondered if it might be military markings, but hit a dead end there too.

I like the broad well defined knurling and appreciate half inch sockets that go down to smaller sizes. If R U N is someone's initials, U is an Uncommon first letter for a middle name.

Yes, I did a search for the fun of it. Just because a name seems unusual today, doesn't mean it wasn't more common back in the day. Maybe the 7/16" socket was stamped "AWAY".

there was a "Urich", but they made a bicycle tire repair tool and a patch kit, not sockets.

looking at that socket, the fonts do not appear to be the same...

 

[The Bean]

Neither are they evenly spaced horizontal or vertical.

 

[Mintgrun]

The spacing on the 3 /8 stamp is off too, with more space on the 3 side of the line. The plating is still intact in the stamps, but I guess that doesn't mean it was stamped before plating. Maybe the chrome just got pushed into the letters.

I sort of ***oomed it was marked by a previous owner, but wondered if the style of the socket was a give-away as to the maker.

Thank you for the help and shared observations.
