Old Cornwell SR21 ratchet

[JSCraftsman]

Hello, anyone on here ever see a Cornwell ratchet like this one? On the plate it has stamped, 17 CORNWELL SR2 1. I'm thinking it's just a very early variant of the SR21. But Alloy Artifacts has zip on it, no information about it what so ever that I can find. Even a broad Google search results zero info. It does bear similar resemblance to old Snap-On P-97 made ratchets of the era, sandwiched plates, etc. It's even similar to the Craftsman C-97 that was made by Snap-On. I am 99% certain it is cadmium plated as well. Any info on this guy would be greatly appreciated.

I neglected to mention in my post that it does have a very small Ford logo stamping on the backside plate, and it's 1/2" drive. May be of some relevance?
