Also looks like this topic was covered... need to read between the threads I guess!?

I think I found another date chart than the normal one I see that says "G" is government. Interesting as I think this may have been my grandfather's.

This one has been rumbling around in my box for quite a while now... it is marked with what looks like a "G" but I wanted to see if anybody can verify. It is 3/8 breaker bar "F-10-HG". No hole in the handle but a place to put a 3/8 ratchet at the end of the handle.

Thanks, I think I'm already in arses to elbows due to the amount of tools I've acquired :eyecrazy:. I knew a lot of what my father had due to him working out of the house when I was kid and hanging around his body shop until he closed it down in the late nineties. While I am still saddened by...

Hello, I found this group after looking up some information on my father's Snap-On roll box from the late 60's early 70's. I have acquired his box and tools and some of my grandfather's as well (roughly seventy-five years worth of Snap-on, MAC, Matco and Craftsman). I'm looking for some...
