They were covered in rust when I discovered them at the fleamarket this past summer!!
I asked the vendor how much and he said $12.00!! A jug of evaporust and some paint on the tin and this is what I got now!!

I had never heard of that brand. Thanks for the informative post. I thought the post was going to be about you stating that whatever brand of socket set you were posting about was better than all other brands.

Very cool! Never seen those before but it looks like a neat set. Are you going to keep it in the original box or move them to a tool chest? I'm sort of fighting myself with that problem at the moment. I have some S-K and Indestro socket sets in their original cases, but I prefer to keep my tools in a single sorted box if possible.

I believe None Better is New Britian. Am I correct?
New Britains "value"line. Both are equal in quality. I'd always pick up any I can find.

I have some OLD Craftsman that sure look a lot like those. Nice set BTW!
The circle H and BE Craftsman were made by New Britain. That is about the newest Craftsman that I will buy anymore.
