Old Ratchet??

[hehe_lemon]

I got this old ratchet from my aunt when she moved and I’ve looked for a couple of hours and have found many that look like it but not one that is the same, maybe y’all could give me some info on it, that would be much appreciated
It’s a 1/2 drive and the only lettering on it is a small H near the top of the handle and a S on the little band towards the bottom of the handle.

Older generic ratchet, probably 24 or 36 tooth. Not sure of the brand or the H and S but looks like a Walden. Have a couple that look just like it but have to dig through the old stuff in the garage to find them. Missing the direction selector lever? Check them out here:

Check the mark on the little band again and see if it says SW.
It could be Stevens Walden.

I agree. The grip looks almost certainly to be of Walden design.

Walden Worcester.
similar to a model 1150 but lacking any markings. selector knobs vary. some are round. some have levers.
