Found one! But, is it legal to sneak it alongside the wartime finish sets?

Aaah, I would've taken that as a refrigeration ratchet at first look. I have Bonney RF ratchets that look very similar. I'm headed to the shop to look closer at my Walden stash...thanks for this post and the catalog reference, is that off ITCL?

Update- T1216 1/2" has been found in my NB stash!

Ok, here I go again... Swung by a friend of mine at his peddlers cart shop today. He sold me an unused 11pc 1/2" drive Proto socket set for $11. While I was gathering up the sockets he brings out an older vintage socket box and asks if I knew what it was. Nice old None Better 1/2" drive T 1200...

I took a shot at a box lot of various nut drivers in a local online auction. The location was 1.5 hours away so not worth it to drive over and review ahead of auction time. The roll bag looked official US issue but couldn't really tell from the posted Pic. Anyway, won the bid and a few other...

BK, I was looking through a Habitat Restore in Maryland yesterday and found the same box. Had six original sockets still in it. Surprised to remove the top foam piece and find the content insert in pristine shape!

Thanks for posting this Don. I found this set at the third day 75% off everything estate sale that I happened across on my way back from the flea market. I chuckled to myself that all the good stuff would be gone. I was quite surprised to find it, a Penens tool box and a handful of sockets still...

Curious find today at the flea. Cleaned it up some but unbranded. Working end has a recessed spring. Any ideas of the maker. Looks better quality than Taiwanese cheese...measures at 5 1/4"

It's their dang old liquid lunch policy, again!

Interesting find yesterday, I've not seen this design on a Craftsman spinner before.

To accompany my find from post #781, I purchased a Herbrand tool box and have outfitted a S19 speed brace and S-21 T-bar with it. Not seeing this box in the catalogs I'm assuming its likely a late 1960s or 1970s box (before they went to that woodgrain sticker effect). Gonna just label it as a...

Oh, no...the pic didn't show a Kennedy badge so I was presuming Wright due to them doing a lot of military tool boxes in the stated era

That looks like a Wright box from the 2000s era?

Picked this 1964 Kennedy military issue machinist tool box yesterday at a flea market. Complete with original data plate, it's in excellent shape. $30 and I took it home. Now, where or who has the inventory sheets so I can restock her?

Went to an estate sale Friday and grabbed up a cool older toolbox. Discovered a very nice Herbrand 1/2" drive socket set with drivers and accessories inside which made the $35 price tag on the box well worth the purchase! But I believe the sockets are a different time stamp than the ratchet? The...
