Well I'm in the process of buying my grandpas farm and was digging through the barn today and found these. All 3/8 drive 1" sockets with a rubber insert. Assuming some type of spark plug sockets?

Spark plugs for old International gas engines in trucks were one inch; also Harley Davidson from 1936-1947 overhead valve and all the old flatheads, I believe, were one inch, as were the old Indians. Probably a lot of cars, also.

He's got an international 574 tractor out there. No clue how he ended with a whole box of them though and none look used.

Those are a very cool find. :thumbup:
Keep the best one and look to sell the rest to collectors.

Wow! Nice find! I'd sell those individually on Ebay. You'll probably never use one unless you work on the kind of vintage equipment mentioned above.

Cool find! Some Spark plugs for IH tractors take a 7/8 socket, others take 1". Really cool find.
