In my ongoing (and unsuccessful) effort to find one with a 1944 date code, I have found a few with the hand stamped T. All dated 1945. -Don

A Kane set arrived in the mail yesterday from an eBay seller. Since most of these seem to have been made for export, I was happy to find this one in the USA. The replacement for the peeling 1/2” socket was gifted to me some time back by bmwrd0. Until the arrival of this set it was my only Kane...

The Paschall hammers in my Plomb based GMTK. -Don

I was very surprised to see that my cans were much more modern than I expected when I checked them out in 2016. -Don

Another set listed as Walden I picked up off of eBay because I recognized the R.T.E.C. spinner. Missing the pliers and wrenches as well as a couple of sockets. An interesting repaint of likely the original box. -Don

This 426 pair is newer with an acid etched logo. I found them at an estate sale on Friday. I had to be careful not to eradicate the part number when cleaning. At the same sale I found this larger 440 pair with the same patent as on Geno‘s above. I liked the patina so I left it intact other than...

Here is mine. I ran out to the garage and took a couple of pictures. -Don

It looks to me like the “Approved Tools” logo was earlier than the “Dependable Quality” logo. Don

I found these at an estate sale on Friday. It had been pretty picked over and I was surprised that these were still available. -Don

Just in the 1/4” drive sets. The 1/2” drive 8 point sockets are readily available in regular S-K knurled sockets but they seem rare in the S-K Chrome marked sockets. -Don

I like that extra long screwdriver! Here is a 3/8“ drive Plonb WF-23 speeder that I would like to see go to a WF tool collector. -Don

I think that the 8 point S-K Chrome sockets are a cool find. I checked pictures of my S-K Chrome box and I don’t see any 8 point sockets. -Don

My Mac example may have been made in 1981. -Don

I was unable to resist this 1945 18” example at a Nevada estate sale yesterday. Some of the original black paint is showing and the jaws are decent. As found. Began the cleanup. -Don

We had to stop and take some pictures of this potential treasure we spotted as we drove by a yard in Minden. I had to make sure that it wasn’t the one we sold a few decades back but it was just a look alike. My wife commuted in hers for over 100,000 miles after I restored it. Post freeway rear...

A last minute Craigslist ad for an estate sale in Gardnerville, NV showing a Snap-on stack and saying “tools, tools, tools”, got us headed for Nevada this morning. Of course by the time we arrived three hours after the sale started the stack was nowhere to be seen and most of any desirable tools...

This early WW2 1/2” drive Indestro set arrived from an eBay seller yesterday. It is missing a 1/2” D-I socket which shouldn’t be a problem. The ratchet is non reversing whIch was a bit of a surprise but at least it came with the drive plug. -Don

Although you can’t see the slots in the catalog image, they were very likely in this set in ‘61. Early and later 4511 sets. -Don

The lower box with the slots is slightly more modern than the upper box. The S-K emblem with the up arrow started In 1946. The emblem without the up arrow started in the mid ‘50s and was used until the change to the S-K Wayne marking around ‘62 or so. I made a bid on one of those 3/8” drive...
