Marty: yes, sockets and ratchets in that Craftsman 40's early 50's toolbox. probably mid 40's with the leather handle. i'm not a fan of that style box unless you have a bench to sit it on because if you carry it by the handle the sockets and ratchets are a mess in a few seconds.
i have this style for my car that i really like so keep your eye open for it if you need a good old carry box because it's built like a brick shitehome.
did you get the sockets and wrenches with the box or did it come to you empty?
