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

Nice wartime speeder. The E indicates that it was made in 1944 or possibly 1943. A 1945 speeder would have a G marking.
-Don
Two different styles of wartime Snap-on 1/2” drive speeders.

Thanks. I corrected my fat finger typo.

 

[MisterEd]

A couple of Crowfoot Wrenches; S-8662 & S-8661, 1949
Caster-camber adjustment, 1949-1950 Ford cars. S-8661A is for Fords and the S-8662A fits Mercury and Lincoln.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Snagged this Whitworth double offset DBE this morning. The bad news is it's kind of scrungy with box rot. The good news is it's wartime.

 

[macilikewood]

No idea of there age

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I see some 55s and a 61

 

[d42jeep]

Although I didn’t really need it, I was unable to pass on this large obstruction DOE wrench yesterday. It hadn’t seen much use.
-Don
Looks like 1957?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I've been looking for a 1 3/8 of those

87. Nice pick up.

‘77

 

[joel63]

‘77

No, no, look again. Backwards for seventies.

 

[Ricky Joe]

No, no, look again. Backwards for seventies.

Oops! You are right!

 

[Old Radar]

I was trying hard to make it fit in '87 but judging by the photo, the angle between the top and leg is more acute in the '87. I'm going to have to agree with Don's initial assessment and say '57.

The wrench part number and style are not from the 50s. This is a 50s style 4 way angle wrench. It's a 1987.

 

[RTM]

Outsider to Snap-on stuff here, I don’t see the drop at the leading edge of the ‘57 7 when I zoom in, it’s just a shadow.

 

[d42jeep]

I’m going with 1987 after seeing that style of wrench in the ‘83 catalog. Thanks for everyone’s contributions.

[Mr.Ric]

Snap~on script in use in 1987 doesn't match what's on the wrench, '57 would be correct.

Impossible based on the style of wrench and part number. Take a look at the photo I posted above, that's a 1950s vintage wrench.

Sometimes due to the dies used or stamping the year stamp is not always clear or consistent. Also, there are a couple of different charts floating around the internet with minor differences in the way the date stampings are defined. In addition to that, Snap-on sometimes used/uses older name logo stamps on tools that weren't as commonly made. I've gotten brand new tools with old style logo stampings.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Some stamped with 7s , I thought maybe 57 or 67. Stamps can be inconsistent

 

[d42jeep]

I have a similar (but smaller) wrench with the same Snap-on logo. Unfortunately, if doesn’t have any date code.
-Don

 

[d42jeep]

Here is another tool with a difficult to decipher date code.

That is 1947.

Pr5 roller from 1937

I dunno the model number, but I brought home this 1/2” drive L-handle from the flea today.

Probably about 1925 or so.

 

[Shelbylex]

I do not remember if I posted this one yet.
Snap On DHP8A pliers. I read that it's for GM door handle removal (models 1940s-50s). Tried to find online how they were used, but no luck.
...will pass it to the next person since I doubt I will ever use them...

I’ve got a set. I think mine are K-D. They fit the window crank clip.

No. 1 handle, that style was from mid 20s

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I dug this sorry specimen out of an old wooden toolbox at the flea market this morning. Originally, before it was whittled down to this size, it was an A-26 (3/4" blade) drag link bit, which is the smallest they made, along with an A-15 (1-1/4") and A-17 (1"). I've found and still have a few of these over the years, all wartime production, placed into GMTK's that have been moved onto others, but this is the oldest (1932 date code) I have ever found.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Wow that poor drag link socket is looking rough!

 

[LNKMK8]

This is a new one for me... appears to be a 1/4" to 3/8" drive adapter? I looked in the 1928 Catalog and only found the current style of adapters shown. Anyone familiar with this one?

 

[3baygarage]

Might be the end of a 1920's 1/2" extension that came off, and then they beat the piss out of it to make it those sizes.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

That thing is smashed!

 

[LNKMK8]

I think you might be right... sure looks like the end off of a S-12 Extension... both sides might have had a 1/2" opening before they beat on it

 

[d42jeep]

I always like finding Snap-on tools at estate sales. I particularly like finding Vacuum Grip tools in good condition. Found these today. I didn’t see any date codes.

[snapmom]

Snap on N6885 ratchet. 1/2 drive, 24 teeth, 15" long. has pin detent. date code 1966. I have not seen in any cat.
Industrial.

 

[3baygarage]

I thought that one a bit unusual.

 

[Old Radar]

As shown on the Garage Sale Thread, I picked up a few SO items the other day.

Complete TK-560 Tune-O-Kit. In the '50-'55 catalogs.


MV 71 Ratchet. No date code and I can't seem to find it in any of the cats online.


TRF-7A Rethreader Die Set. Found in the '62 catalog
12pt Flare Nut Crowfoot Set from '65. No catalog I can find shows a 12pt set--only 6pt.
SVP-70-K Midget Punch & Chisel Set. Individuals stamped either '61 or '62
A-157A Bushing Driver Set. Drivers stamped Snap-on and '60. Why the Blue-Point logo?

 

[snapmom]

The MV71 is a military rat, prob. from the 60s

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Nice haul!

 

[snapmom]

Some odd pieces: Snap on adjustable spanner, model 2425. probably war era. Snap on flare nut line wrench, model 2643. 43 code. We yapped about the BP and SO 22xx model numbers in other threads, these seem related, but not sure.
Now, the really odd thing, these should be Blue Point, as all these types of wrenches were branded during this era, and for years after. Most likely for some war set.
