Found at work today

[Villerider]

Was trashing out a garage for work today (I work for a property management company) Got lots of cool stuff to keep but I will share this. Any idea on a year? Sockets got mixed up at some point. Ratchet feels nice.

Nice. I have one that belonged to my grandfather that he used in his print shop. Very cool old set. Something about the packaging of those old SK sets is very appealing.

You ****! I clean out places after people pass so I know how it is to find goodies!

His set was from the mid 60's, I think. Looks similar.

What all else was in there?

S-K in the diamond logo was early 30's to mid/late 50's

Great save!

Magic 8 ball says 1957.

Solid old leather punch, new pack of Lennox saw blades, ridgid folding rule, dewalt lock install kit, NOS craftsman battery charger. Lots of worthwhile stuff but these jumped out. Just started getting into the old wrenches and sockets. These are going straight to the tool box.

Coworker saw them and shrugged.

I'll say 1930s. It has the older (1934) SK ratchet patent number. The 1941 patent was a different number. Plus, everything has that older 'look'.

I have an SK ad from 1960 with the diamond logo clearly visible on the ratchet. So, I'd say it went at least to '60. The OP's is a '30s set, though.

Great find and you ****.

That's awesome. I found good tools at the curb more than once. We should have a thread on that to go with tools found in the road.

Nice find!

So we'll all be sure to stay out of your way, where is the next place you'll clean out? Please include street address and/or gps coordinates, and where the keys are hidden. Just so we'll stay out of your way you know.
