I agree with the above^. It is similar to the concept of the vintagge Stanley No.77. I don't know the make or model of the one above. I did find one on ebay but No maker there either. But I have to say its pretty cool!

They are spot weld cutters looks to be double end too. The company name is "Blair". You can still get them today here is a link to the site. http://www.blairequipment.com/Kits/Cutter_Kits.html Nice box also!:thumbup:

Thats what I thought. I also was going through that patent info and found out that one of the makers Whitman & Barnes had a plant and offices in Akron, Ohio at one time.

Since I am from NY here is some info on one of the companies that made a wrench like that. http://vespags.web.fc2.com/up/w-b.pdf

Hey Woody check this out. I found a patent for the wrench. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/301242-old-tool-monkey-wrench.html http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?pn=273170&id=13766

I can't help but do this.

Nice! Midget No 56 set and just think it was cost $5.15 back in 1936.

Nice Job! :rocker:

Maybe the seller never deleted the Ad or updated as sold. Up here in the soon to be frozen tundra they leave them up all the time. I lost count of how many times I contacted a seller and the ad was still up days after they sold it. I ran out of fingers and toes so i stopped counting!

It looks like they are a tool themselves. I google them and it says they are used to transfer the location of open and blind threaded holes to mating parts. I myself have never used them. I would guess they are used more for machining.

I would say the year is 58. The midget ratchet in 1968 has a different number and design. Here is a link to the 58 catalog with the model number. http://www.collectingsnapon.com/catalogs/catalogs.php?loggedin=0&catalogPage=1564

They are a transfer and screw set for center punches.

I sent a the serial number via message to Snap on customer service online and that is the year they emailed me back with.

Looking at the internal parts and design it looks to me like a steam whistle. Like I posted earlier it is missing the valve part on the bottom. Here is a design see the internals and how they are close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_whistle#mediaviewer/File:Wiki_cup_whistle.jpg
