I think those require a left handed ratchet

that looks like an Oxwall box.



your sockets do not look like Oxwall, though.



possibly old Meteor?

Ya that's the one. Those sockets on the bottom do look like meteor.

In posts #22 through #36 on this thread there is a discussion on those sockets we sometimes find in a vintage 1930's or 1940's socket set that seem to have a hundred "points" instead of 6 or 8 or 12 in the service opening, called "internal knurling" by Walden and Husky, used on radio and similar cabinets with knurled head screws. Also discussed are the spinner versions. This morning I found this L-wrench at my flea market. No branding or marking of any kind, but it sure looks like it may have been made for the same purpose.
