Need help dating socket set

[Hyd.Mechanic18]

I got this from an old boss when I was about 16 working on a farm. I hadn't payed much attention to it, but noticed it when digging through the garage today. It's a 1/2" drive set. Anyone know who makes it and how old it is? From what I've found online it kind of looks like an old craftsman set. Thanks.

Looks like old indestro stuff. 1920's - 1930's I would guess.

Thank you for the link. Do you know how much these sets usually go for?

Start with flowers... Take the tools out to coffee, and see if you are compatible. If you are, dinner and a movie or if things are progressing nicely, dancing.

Some tools are sluts; they will go out with anyone...

Always open doors for him/her/it too... they love that. Make sure you are nice to the parents as well.

A complete set would be a nice find for a collector, check ebay for current/past sales.

Definitely 20's or early 30's. Who is the manufacturer?

I have the same set, made by Duro. From the information I could find it was made between 1929 and 1931. Mine is missing the el bar.
Collector value?......whatever you can get for it.

and don't look like a punk when you go to pick her up, tuck in your shirt, straighten up, and don't put on too much of that brylcreem.

glad i'm not the only one with that thought.
