Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

[snapmom]

The speeder with the crimped (for lack of a better word) end instead of stops....what year? and is there a clear catalog picture available?

very early 20s, maybe some adds show this. there is also a two pinch.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I think early, pre catalog. Maybe someone has an earlier ad? The 23 catalog shows the 3rd version of the no.1. If I had to guess I would say 21 to 22.

Thanks!

Show and tell. New cabinet mix of husky mtf and snap-on then a super service set in progress with as close to mint condition as i can in S/O style trying to get all about 1925 so will do away with the pinched stuff which I'm still looking for a long extension and long speeder for a complete set up if anyone has any to trade or sell. Then part of my mtf 3/4 drive set In the mtf "tool cabinet"

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Yup

She’s a beauty

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Ok what’s this socket?

 

[MR.X]

Cam Shaft nut socket I assume.

Added pic. Is this basically the shape?

I love the double bit. What's it say?

That’s it

 

[MR.X]

That’s it

Cool. 36-F should be in most of the 20's catalogs.

It's a black raven kinda just forgot it was there ha. It is pretty cool though

You wanna trade or sale? Only if you forgot about it.lol

 

[Steven 33]

You wanna trade or sale? Only if you forgot about it.lol

Lol yeah it is for sale. I gotta walk a very tight line when it comes to what I keep. I used to collect pretty much EVERYTHING and that got out of hand ha. Trades are always better but my wishlist is getting smaller and harder to find but if you want to message me we can see if we can work out a deal

A few Snap-on finds from sales over the weekend.
Cleaned up the set. One wrench is a Herbrand subsitute. I’ll be looking for the missing wrench.
i was surprised to see the Snap-on etched into the socket rack. I’ll need to figure out what sockets it originally held.
A couple of sockets.
Likely a Snap-on 3/8” drive spinner but the markings are worn off.

I’ve probably got the missing Snap-on wrench. I’ll trade it to you for the Herbrand if you like.

 

[d42jeep]

I need the wrench that’s 13/64” on the straight end and 15/64” on the angled end. I would gladly trade the Herbrand for that one. I’ll get a picture of the Herbrand for you. Thanks for the offer!
-Don
Here are some pictures of my Herbrand placeholder.

 

[Patrick Eubanks]

Did snap on have a mark other than the day codes for government contract stuff during ww2. Like plumbs wf and so on

 

[Ricky Joe]

Some of them did have extra numbers, but I’m not sure about any dedicated marks. Plomb did not mark all wartime sockets with “WF”.

Oh ok

 

[Steven 33]

Oh ok

There's the "not gaur" markings I think related to military not sure and then other specialty stuff like the n-xxxx part numbers and a few others.

 

[Steven 33]

Came with a lot of Snap-on tools anyone recognize the marking? Makes me think of mtf or Tru fit but really don't know

 

[3baygarage]

Now that is a Thorsen. Nice one.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Not related to military. They were applied to tools that were subject to damage even when used correctly, due to their design, such as cellulose tipped hammers, very fine pin point punches, deliberately thin wall sockets, carb sockets with tiny prongs, all Phillips head screwdrivers, etc. I did a massive catalog inventory a few years ago, from the 30s to the 50s, and they were very consistent. I posted a summary in this thread. If you search on "NOT GUAR" it will probably come up.

Any idea on these? I couldn't find any difference between these and the same ones but not marked with the "not guar"

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I don't recall if flare nut types were always denoted with the asterisk. You could try looking them up in a catalog.

 

[MR.X]

Digging thru the basement...So I know the Alemites and the wing nut socket, but in the 2nd pic, the one at the far right, 3/8" drive, Snap-On "T 1927" and then an "8" that looks upside down. Does anyone know what this is for? with reference? Don't get hung up on the other stuff in the 2nd pick that's just for size reference and comparison of the prong blades.

Its probably made for Stromberg, T19278 matches the number series Stromberg used. probably hand stamped

Familiar with the T-109-** carb stuff....and here's a Snap-On Stromberg T-20139...seen other # formats as well but......

That's interesting as it has the later style detent ball with the grooves around it. I have only seen that on one other pre 40s or late 30s tools

 

[MR.X]

RB? Catalog year?

 

[snapmom]

RB? Catalog year?

would probably be late 30s early 40s

Interesting observation. I knew it showed up a lot later on but no idea when it started. Could it be a repair?

 

[Provincial]

Picked this up Thursday. Blue Point XD-3436.

 

[wafrederick]

NOS military issued 1/2 drive universals in the original box also in good shape

 

[930dreamer]

FB MP, when did Snap On have the script "Chicago" on the lid?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Pretty early, up to early 30s or so.

 

[Steven 33]

anyone wanna play a little game and test your knowledge? One of these days I'd like to get a real good lineup together of similar looking tools but here's some I decided to put together when organizing. I had to blur some stuff out to avoid rearranging but here's a mix of different bigger sockets by 4 different makers and 4 different midget sockets by 4 different makers 4 different plug sockets and adapters by 4 diffent makers plus a couple 3/8 universals one is Snap-on one isn't. For the bigger sockets we'll number them as if reading from a book so starting top left at 1 then 2 3 then bottom row 4 5 6 7 8 and same idea with others.
Can you find the Snap-on? Even more impressive would be to accurately identify the others

 

[County]

Here is my 1929 and 1930 Date stamped Super Service Set

 

[Steven 33]

Anyone have this original stand thing
