Sk hand tools

[corvstang]

Hey guys.. I've bought a lot of estate tools lately. I'm trying to figure out exactly the era of some of these tools were made. Can someone assist?

One set is an sk 1713/ sleeve case says dresser industries .. And the wrenches have different model numbers that all start with C... The 1" wrench is like C32 I think... And are stamped USA alloy sk

The other set is an sk superkrome coated set. Forged in USA and all model numbers start with an 8...

Can any1 help me identify these ?

Here's a pretty good discussion of older SK Tools -

This gave me some good options. I guess nothing is narrowed down... So my older sae standard wrench set was made more than likely from 1967-1984 n one wrench is a sk Wayne so 64 to 67... The sockets some look late 30s then others that look like 60s. My ratchets are all the same eras. Nothing is really said about superkrome finished items... Those are prob newer.. But how new during facom or like a few years ago?

C series I think early 80's never broke any.
8 series prob early 90's bent 17 mm still bent.
Only by memory because I bought a set of each new.
