Really Old Socket Set - Plomb???

[stratman977]

I got this set of tools off a buddy of mine a while back. He sells flea market tools. He said he's tired of looking at this old socket set and I could have it for $10. I was interested In it because it had some pipe plug sockets in it and some really odd sized 32nds sockets.

It came in a plomb case but the chrome sockets are duro. The lower female ratchet is indestro. The rest of it has no markings except a few of the stamped sockets are marked "RAY". I always thought the stamped sockets were plomb but looking at alloy artifacts the plomb ones were marked as such. Anyone know anything about these tools? If other pics would help let me know?

The tools marked "RAY" are....wait for it.... RAY!

It was a brand of the Packer Auto Specialty Company.

Yep that's what it is. The reversible flat head screwdriver socket looks just like the one in that magazine add shown in alloy artifacts.

The 6 point sockets are great. Are there x/32 sizes in those 6 point? I don't think I've seen /32" sizes in 6 point before. Are there really 25 sockets in one set of those industro's?. Also the flex sockets are nice too. The box is worth $10.00. YOU ****! I would have grabbed that for $10.

How about some close ups of the /32" sizes (if they are the chrome ones) and a few flex sockets?

The flex sockets are double female end universals. 3 are the same and the one had a longer inner block. There are 14 unique 6 point sockets in the set. 5/8 to 1-1/4 with a 19/32 21/32 25/32 and 31/32. There's a duplicate 13/16 and two 5/16 extras and the rest is a set of 4 point 7/16 to 7/8.
