Help ID these USA made sockets

[jdbilodeau]

Happy New Year everyone-
At an estate sale I recently picked up a set of 15 1/2" drive sockets and a breaker bar- all marked Made in USA. Any guesses as to the manufacturer and vintage?
Thanks-
JD

The knurling on those sockets looks most similar to TRUTH to me.
Here's some wartime 1/2" drive sockets for comparison.

not Indestro.

not a clue who made those.

Early New Britain, maybe None Better.

^ good call.

notice that Alloy-Artifacts shows two different designs of New Britain / None Better sockets with that knurling pattern: one has more radically chamfered edges at the top and bottom than the other.

The tops of those sockets do look a bit more chamfered than the indestro supers

Yep, that looks correct. Right down to the little 'Made in USA' stamp on them. Good call 3Bay!

Thank You!!

That AA page helped me ID a couple of other little bits from the same sale. Apparently I have the double male extension as well.

None Better made by New Britain from the '30s. Here are mine.
