Thanks bro Tooler.

Hello Dr. Lugnutz, Is it ok for me to post a marketplace ad on the forum? It’s not mine, it the CMB ad that the guy won’t reply to me. Maybe someone in PA would buy this for themselves. It’s a good price.

Thanks four.cycle, good eyes!

A spark plug socket, 1-5/32, with a closed top. Totally unmarked. Came with a mixed set of Mossberg, RAY and no name pressed steel sockets. Doesn’t quite fit the Mossberg ratchet, but you can adapt with an additional socket. Any ideas of the origin of such a socket? Also with the set was this...

Thanks for the digging! Nice work!

I really really want to buy this set. I this a Mossberg flex handle? This is the picture from an ad. The gentleman won’t answer my inquiries.

Thought I would throw another “Duluth Steel” in the mix. Three square sockets and five hex. 5/8” twice.

I looked for a reference to a Billings and Spencer set, didn’t find one but may have missed it. This Ratchet is not particularly unique but I think the drop forged sockets are pretty cool. The case is nice with marked openings and stamped sizes on the shank of the socket. This is also a...

Gentlemen! Thanks for your dedicated and thoughtful replies! It was a blessed encounter in Marketplace where this set was made available for a ridiculously low price. Having a keen interest in these early socket sets I realized immediately that this was a rare opportunity. I speculate that this...
