Need help identifying a 1" ratchet

[aliendude96]

Hello everyone, this has been driving me nuts lately. Iv had this 26" 1" drive ratchet for a while now but it doesn't have any manufacturer markings of any kind on it . Does anyone have a idea what the brand could be ? The drive end has a double indent ball and 42 teeth from what I can count. Also it looks like it was chrome plated post- tooling marks " on the head" . As you can see from the pictures

I looked on the Google machine and the closest example I can find is a gear wrench branded 1" ratchet but the finish/handle/rotation turn knob doesn't line up with what I have.

Hi. It’s a generic Taiwan or China or Japan ratchet. I can tell by the selector and the handle. Plus the no branding. Could be any name on the socket set it came in as there are an infinite number of import sets.
