Brazil socket set

[Oldtuleguy]

Looks like some old sk or duro or something

I was told on here that the “Brazil” logo was none other than SK. I can’t remember when they did those but they are early.

Looks like sk stuff I have seen.

cool.

does that flip-flop ratchet have any markings on it? patent number maybe?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Not a single marking anywhere

Would it be possible to see a side view of the sockets? I'd like to compare the markings with mine. Thanks.

Only significant marks are 2 dots, one on each side of the size...

Thanks for the pictures. Those markings look like typical very early S-K. Much earlier than mine, for sure.

From what I read on aa, 1932ish? Perhaps we have some other brazil examples here on the forum? I find the early sk stuff interesting, as it looks like old sears, hinsdale duro etc...

 

[four.cycle]

ahhh.... so the ones with the dot on each side of the size stamp are S-K (Brazil) product?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

According to aa, and per this example

Just to update, I have looked at an sk set of the same time period and the sockets in that set have the 2 dots as well. In fact I could discern virtually no difference between the sk and the brazil sets, even the boxes are the same...
