Thank you for your response. There's some bare steel with avf and aa stamped on them and I've seen a couple of old military sockets that look similar .. some also look like wheel sockets and 12/6 points . It's a mixed bunch for sure
No feelings hurt buddy these arnt my goodies just the scraps like you said . I've cleaned the old 1/2 bar and using that i love it . Even this stuff ill bag up and keep will be a useful one day and if not somone can find one once I've passed.
Been sorting through my mass pile of tools and can't seem to identify these sockets/square bar have a plethora of pretty much every brand from 1880s but can't see anything about these. Only marked foreign but resemble 3 different brands . I have Japan Taiwan and completely unmarked sockets some...
