No markings? I remember seeing the sockets before, with those midway bumpouts, but I don't recall ever seeing the ratchet for them (that is one bulky handle!), and I've never seen a name attached to them. Terrific, envy-worthy find.

Very interesting and cool kit. The bulkiness of the handle, and special socket shapes makes me think it's something for securing special fittings or fasteners specific to a process or particular trade ?
Very awesome find!

Nice work. Now I am SURE we've discussed them before, the bold name, as well as those stiffeners in the square sockets, but I'll be danged if I can find it. Very cool. Patent 897,584, Carlson, Sep 1, 1908. DATAMP has a good write-up with links to other sets and ads, linked here.

I can't read the print, but is there any relationship between that company and CATERPILLAR, in East Peoria?

No maybe about it, that's it Jeff. Did you see post #7? Click on the link to DATAMP. And when you're there and you've finished reading their summary information, clock on the li5 or 6 links they provide to other collected sets and period ads.
