50s Williams 1/4" drive set in nice shape

[gben]

Another yard-sale find from last-year. Looks like someone bought it and never used it at all, mostly looks like shelf-wear.

I have one of those boxes. Puzzled me as to what it originally contained - now I know!
Great find!

Great looking set. I've never seen a knurled-handled driver like that; very nice.

What is interesting about the driver is that you can move the handle up a click and then it is free to rotate so you can use it as a rotating extension for the cross-bar or the ratchet:

That is a fine set.

I believe it would have come with the pliers also.

Very well could have, hard to say. On the Alloy Artifacts website some of these sets have pliers and some don't. I am not sure what the model # of this set is as AA does not have one, so I would have to find an old S-K catalog with this set in it to actually know anything. It was $5 and it is 60-70 years old so it could have a few issues......
