Went back to the estate sale this morning to see if I could find the missing socket and handle for the tiny tool kit I bought yesterday but to no avail.The two other tool sets were still there but the 50% didn't go into effect until noon and it was only ten o'clock. So I bought them at full price.
The first set is a 1/2 inch drive by Blackhawk and is missing a couple of the sockets(1/2-11/16ths)but in their place are a set of four 4 point sockets.There are also 2 deep sockets and two large Bonney sockets that look to have never been used. There is a speed handle;a crank type handle and the extension has a sleeve over it to allow you to steady it while it is used.There is a track rod socket(looks like a large straight slot screwdriver)and a mystery socket that has a U-shaped piece of metal cotter-pinned to the end.
Inside the box was a cloth bag marked Keystone Tool Co (NOB)6 piece socket set.Inside the bag were the sockets which are very unusually shaped at the base and are unstamped. Have to research this company.
This whole setup cost me $10.
The tool box is unmarked and is of a most unusual design.Trapezoidal in shape there is a hinged flap at the top that provides a locking capability and when opened allows the top to slide off revealing a three shelf tool box that is hinged to allow it to pivot to either side.It contained a lot of old open end wrenches including a pair of Herbrand Vanadium Tappet Wrenches,a socket set(looks a lot like an Indestro with a 1/2 inch hex drive but unmarked)and several specialized tools I'm still trying to identify. This one cost me $25.
