Snap On FS10A markings

[mercifiknow]

I had previously mentioned that I had 1958 ratchets and had some flex sockets that seemed to indicate that they too were manufactured in 1958. I need one as stated above and had been looking at eBay to get one but had noticed that they were not stating the dates on them and in reviewing the Collecting Snap On catalog it appears there is a range that it could go up for that socket. Are there actual markings that indicate that it was a 1958 socket? I hope i'm correct because I think I may have been collecting a hodge podge for my collection (still be used though ;-) ).

Thanks everyone!

Google “Snap-on Date Codes”.

If the dates don’t show in the eBay listings, I often request additional pictures by contacting the sellers. I saw one with a 1957 date code during a quick search.

Yep I know the date codes for the ratchets. What I'm questioning is where, if any, are the codes/ tell-tale signs for the sockets.

i think i found them. they are right before the patent number?
