1950's Herbrand - Bonney Ratchet

[DOlsen]

I just got this 1/4" drive ratchet. It is obviously made by Herbrand (it is identical to the M-5) , but it is marked Bonney V-701-H.

I knew that Herbrand made ratchets for Billings in the 1950's (Herbrand actually owned Billings for several years), but I did not know that they also made tools for Bonney.

Does anyone know if this ratchet appeared in any Bonney catalogs of that era, and are there versions in 3/8" and 1/2" drive?

ToolArchives.com - click "catalogs by brand" and you'll find early Bonney catalogs.

This ratchet would be after '64 when Bonney and Herbrand were under the same roof in SC. I'd be interested in it if you're not in love!

Thanks for the information. I probably don't want to part with it, I collect ratchets. I might consider trading, if you have something interesting to offer.
