Do I have antique snap on here?

[Bill Bowman]

I've had this old snap on box with contents for many years, under my tool cabinets. Never use it. Never have had a need for it. Anybody know the vintage? Thanks. Bill

Are those some 8 point sockets?

Do the sockets have a "number code" on them?

It appears the lid is stamped something. I think I can see Snap on underscored on the lid in the picture where it's opened.

There are 3 eight point sockets. 2 are 13/16 (#426)and 1 is 3/4(#424). Bill

Yes, Snap On is kind of embossed into the lid. The handle is kind of a leather "suitcase" style handle. Bill

The box is from the 1930's-40's. Very nice. Snap a picture of your ratchet.

 

[Bill Bowman]

Here you go.

Bill,

Your pictures are so blurry I wouldn't know if that's a ratchet or a turkey leg!

use ful info will be drive size.... appear to be 1/2, but back then there were several different drive sizes ranging from 1/2, 5/8. 3/4, 7/8 might be a few others slipping my mind in rush

 

[Bill Bowman]

Sorry for the **** pictures. Hope these are better. Bill

Are those some 8 point sockets?

Would those be "double square" sockets? Bill

 

[tool-nut]

I would agree with mostly 30's sockets and box and some into the 40-50's like the chromed 3/4 extension pieces. The ratchet is probably the 5/8 drive with adapters for 1/2 and the later 3/4 drive. And yes those "double square" were just like 12 points today and appear to be late 30-40's style in 1/2" drive.

You need to check out Alloy Artifacts. That is a pretty old set you have there.
