Little red toolbox

[RedVise]

Well, I think i found the place to get a name for my no name sockets, found in the proverbial little red tool box. I bought the box a year ago for the 1/2 drive ratchet, will seems to be an Indestro 3203 R. Sockets are stamped for size and nothing else. They are all 1/2 drive 6 point except for 3 that are for square nuts (?), and a square drive and a slotted socket. I just bought the set because I like the old stuff. I believe that sentiment is understood here.
So, I found this place on the Internet, I believe from Lookingfor64Galaxie's toolbox painting thread. And today, the red tool box caught my eye, and I figured, if these guys cant tell me, I will never know.
So check these out, maybe Indestro sockets ?
Also I found I had 2 more of this type of ratchet.

Thanks for any and all replies. I find checking in here during the day from time to time helps keep me sane, between resetting the 539th password for the day ! Great Forum !

Dang, I forgot to mention the other sockets, seen on top of the box. From the left is a Bonney 12 point A26 5/8 (Rough), C-man 7/8, Sparta 9/16 (USA), different no name 9/32 stamped 1219, and 2 S-K's: 3/4 40124 and a deep well 9/16 46318 (impact ?)

Brian,
I can't wait for the replies you'll receive, because I too have several of those old sockets. Many of them are marked exactly like yours, while some others are marked only with the size and "USA", or etc.

Good luck to BOTH of us!

I use to sell Sparta tools in the mid-60's at the NAPA Warehouse( Genuine Parts Co.). They were second line tools under New Britian tools. Not a bad wrench.

I own a Littlestown vise and grew up within 15 miles of Littlestown PA. Decent quality but not Wilton quality. I wore one out and bought another of the same style at a sale for $15 cause I didn't want to drill new holes through the 1/4 plate where the old one was mounted. They will stand up to some abuse but if you really abuse a vise, buy one of better quality.

Oh, welcome, its great to have you here.
