Early Snap On T-Handle w/ No Date Code

[bigcaddy]

I picked this 1/2" drive t-handle over the weekend and just now got some time to look at it.

The writing is really but there is no obvious date code stamp on the tool. Do any resident tool hours have an approx date of mfg?

It measures 11 3/4" long and is 7 1/2" across the tee.

Here is a shot of the logo up close. It's a bit dirty but I think the finish is raw steel unless the chrome is really worn off

Between 1923 and 1926, lf memory serves at all the first year of date code use was 1927. The way the detent ball is fixed in place can ballpark date them even closer on some items. That and how the stops are formed that limit how far the socket goes on.

You got the luxury model with the spinny handle too. A no. 3 l do believe.
