Don't know what they're called but I've seen them on hot water heating system circulating pumps

Vintage is a relative term really, hell I have a customer that call his 1997 Softail an old bike, another ( like me ) that doesn't think of them as old till at least the mid 50's. But I'm assuming that this 70's stack will qualify. I only use it for specialty tools or tools not used everyday...

When I was around 15 or so I started buying my own tools, the auto parts store down the street sold Thorsen tools so that's what I bought. Acquired decent collection at the time but since 1970 this set is all I have left

It's for a 3/8" drive set

Majority of my DBE's most older Snap On, rest early 50's Blue Point. Really like the older round beam wrenches.
