Not that I'm aware of. I think you may be seeing a tiny hair on it (on the right).

Finally the early S-K Wayne socket. I should mention some of these tools I did not inherit; rather I found them in the tool bins at the local Habitat for Humanity store. BTW...I love that S-K ratchet. It is a little scratched around the edges, but it still operates very smoothly. It was in my...

I have finally gone through all of the tools I inherited recently from my grandfather. The following pictures are the S-K stuff I have. There's a little bit of everything. A box-end offset S-K wrench from the late 40's/ early 50's. A couple Lectrolite wrenches, and a Tru-Fit Lectrolite Wrench...

While taking inventory of the massive tool collection I just inherited, I have come across some strange looking tools that I'm having a hard time identifying. Maybe you guys can share some knowledge. I have this funny looking Craftsman wrench(?), part number 5429-50. The closest thing I can...

The "V" of course refers to Moore Drop Forging, but the head of that ratchet looks almost identical to the Indestro 6472 ratchet I have.

If it helps narrow down the dates at all, the socket was my grandfather's. He retired in 2008 and did not buy any new tools after that. And it seems like around 2000 or so, he started going cheap-o (Harbor Freight). So I'm thinking 90's or older, and after 1977 apparently. If anyone has an S-K...

I figured based on the looks, it was from around the 30's or later. Everywhere I've searched online, I can't find reference to "BK" either.

I'm currently in the process of cleaning out my grandpa's old shop. I've been taking most of the "good" brands of tools home. I saw a bunch of JCPenney sockets and a ratchet while hunting through tools. I left them because I assumed they were junk. But based on what you all are saying, I think I...

I have been going through tons of tools I've gotten from my grandfather's estate, and I keep coming across oddballs. He was a self-employed mechanic so he had lots of specialty tools. One such oddball I found is this S-K 4488 oil pressure sender(?) socket. It looks closer to the later sockets...

I am in the process of inheriting my grandpa's tool collection. He was a self-employed mechanic for many years. Seems he had a little bit of every major brand, but mostly good old USA stuff. Going through, I am finding quite a bit of P&C tools, and I have to say I really like them! They are...

I have an old (circa-1930's) Williams open-ended "Superwrench" with an error. It's 7/8" on one end and 1-1/8" on the other. However, they originally stamped 1-1/16, scratched out the "16" and stamped an oversized 8 below it.

Does anyone have a general idea the date range that the Fleet brand was used by Penens and later the main Proto family after they dropped Penens?

OK great, I was hoping that was the case. I love this wrench, it's very smooth and I can easily tell that it is very well made. Is it safe to assume then that tools after 1969 were marked "S-K Tools" for many years?

I have a bunch of S-K stuff, with the various names: S-K, Lectrolite, S-K/Lectrolite, S-K Wayne, S-K Tools. I am trying to figure out the timeline of the use of these names. I know that S-K/Lectrolite was used from about 1953-64, then S-K Wayne from 64-69. My question is, after the Wayne name...

Hi guys, I have an old screwdriver that I am trying to identify. It is a 4" long flathead/ slotted screwdriver with a wooden handle. It is simply stamped "Merit 4" BK". I know that Merit was an early Sears brand, but that's about all I know. Do any of you know when it was made, and by which...

Hi, my name's Cameron, I'm in NW Washington. I'm a 28-year-old guy with a wife of 4 years and a 3-year-old daughter. For work, I am a water treatment plant operator with the City of Anacortes. I have tons of hobbies, and tools is now my newest. I am the process of inheriting my grandfather's...
