Snap On flex socket set

[Tony Zottola]

Does anyone have a picture of a ww2 era Snap on flex socket set ? Mine has 6 pieces, not sure if it is complete, and most are dated 1945
thank you

Not finding what I have unless it wasn’t sold as an actual set. Mine is in a small grayish colored Snap On box. Looks like the rectangle ones that held the smaller midget set. I will get a picture later when I get home from work.

Pics, part numbers with date code would be helpful, box dimensions too.
You can search by part number on internet archives and here also, https://collectingsnapon.com/
Catalogs don't show every tool offered and you may have to look at other years of catalogs. May be a box that some one re-purposed to hold the flex sockets.

Five (5) of the seven (7) they were making at that time shown here in a post on the Snap-on thread on this forum. I am not aware of them selling them as a set in a box of any kind. The metallic midget case would contain them, but they'd have a lot of space to flop around in there, too.

Here's a set for sale on Etsy that fits the box nicely. Canadian sockets, apparently.

Canadian sockets, apparently.

And postwar, in a postwar box. It would be cool if the OP had wartime sockets in a wartime box. I have never seen one, in person, here on GJ, or in a catalog etc.

I actually found the exact set on ebay. Here are ebay pics , mine is missing the 1/2
