Please tell me the estimated age of this old 1" Snap On ratchet.

Late 30's.
Does it have a handle?

Collecting Snap On says 1931 to 1967.
Flip it over and see if here's a date code. It would be near the on/off switch .
Edit: Nevermind, the Snapmom knows.

It could be mid 30s, this one looks late. a hard to find one.

post a pic of the other side, can give you a better date.

Yeah, more pics please.

Side oil port, that's different.

The person who has the ratchet posted it on another Facebook group. I've asked him to join GJ and post follow-up pictures here for those of you who are interested.

It does have a handle - big sucker too!

Thanks much for the quick replies.

Thanks Snapmom. What a different design in that early model. I'd love to run into one of those.

I've got one sitting in my garage that I scored for 10$ off a gent. Has a 36" handle I believe
