Craftsman Socket Evolution 1948-2024

[Lesserstore]

I know very little about the US made Craftsman sockets with the large size markings. I found this partial set at a yard sale on Saturday. Virtually all of the sockets had the large markings except for a very few Sears branded sockets. Does anyone know when these were offered and who made them?

2004-07. After that they switched to roll stamped with laser etched markings.

Also, Part IV covering SBD USA sockets added. I wrote this last year, but forgot to post.
