Patent numbers transpose. Should be 141930. https://patents.google.com/patent/US141930

The Germany part is clearer, but look like this one I have.

Simpson outside caliper. Needs an Evaporust bath, but functions.

Plomb 4020 partial medium puller set. I had promised pictures in post #13704 above.

I came across a near complete set last week. Plomb on the metal box top. Plvmb on the 4021, 4025 (one is missing), and 4026 pieces. No date codes, "Made in USA". Doesn't have correct puller screw 4022. Will get some pics and post here soon.

Looking forward to going to Jake's again.

Many brands of the RB810 box end ratchet are out there, but I cannot identify this over scored S logo. Anyone recognize it? Checked Alloy artifacts, and other places with no luck.

I am a bit late to the party, but I am going through a Bonney RF81 28 piece refrigeration set, and it has an RF67 double D with the same dimensions (3/8 and 1/2) as the Duro-Chrome 4549. The Bonney catalog C-1 (1947), page 87 describes the RF67 as a Kerotest Valve Packing Nut Socket. An...

Thanks for the update and hardware pages showing the NB round corners. And good eye on spotting that stray Duro-Chrome socket. It has a different home and must have been visiting his friends. I don't think there was ever a 1640 set, I just misread the label at first. There is no way 40 tools...

Label says 1640 or 1610 set. Rounded corner box. Yellow bin has some of my extra NB sockets and a driver. I have a ratchet that may be correct, but still need a good catalog reference. Cat A48 has a set 1610X but the box does not appear to be with rounded corners, but is close. My spare...

Thanks four.cycle. I have been searching GJ, patents, and ebay for much of the evening. I will post a picture of interior of the New Britain set soon. Did not find that set 1640 in the catalogs on Internet Archive.

In a New Britain set No. 1640 (catalog reference anyone) was this unusual ratchet with side push buttons to switch ratchet direction. Been searching patents and other photos for a match. Any suggestions? No external markings. There is one on Ebay now as well.

Bonney TD11B set only missing the T14 socket and the T760 universal. The ratchet is a T35 (1957 catalog lists it as a T701). There was a numbering change on ratchet, swivel, and extensions between the catalog M1 from 1951 and catalog 57-s, six years later. I imagine there were some T35s that...

May not help in your drawer slide situation, but I have used the metal hanging strips from vertical file folders. They are not as "tall" as a hacksaw blade, so fit easier into the drawer slide gap. The strips from a legal sized file folder are just over 14" long, but standard ones should be...

You may be on to something worth trying out before replacing individual cells. In another of his videos, "Ryobi P104 Battery Repair", he is soldering the doner cells into the old battery pack rather than using a spot welder. In any case, to reset those CIDs, which are in the tip of the...
