I got these SK sockets off of E-bay. It was advertised as Plomb but when it arrived it only had a plomb ratchet, the rest were SK sockets and an extension. I decided to keep them since the price was CHEAP. I looked on Alloy Artifacts and see the knurled sockets were from the 40s to possibly 55. I have decided to complete this set by purchasing a SK ratchet. Right now most of the images on AA for SK wont load for me.
My questions are: Which ratchet is correct for this year. Also the box has no markings, does it appear to be the correct box. Lastly what else would have come with the set of sockets. They are 1/2" drive and go from 7/16 to 15/16. The socket portion is full.

Probably the SK round head ratchet with the SK emblem outlined by a diamond on the handle would be correct. I don't have one and can't get Alloy Artifacts pictures for them to come up.

i believe you're correct

seems like my old SK ratchets ( late 50's) are marked like that.


my sockets and wrenches are more of a satin chrome finish as well.

Would this be the correct one?

Also any response on if the box looks like it might be an SK box.


I know there are a lot of SK collectors out there.

Yep, that is the correct ratchet type and markings. I have a similar set and the box looks to be the same. Only difference I can see is that mine has an S-K Sherman Klove emblem riveted to the inside of the lid. If yours has a pair of rivet holes then it may have once had an emblem that was removed. There was probably a breaker bar in the set originally (it was missing from mine when I got it) and the sockets went up to 1" in size. There was also probably an extension or two in the set (may be 6" and a 9"). Hopefully someone else has a complete set or has access to a catalog to tell what all came with this 1/2" drive set originally.
