snapon date codes

[landrover bodger]

i have been looking at the date codes on my snapon tools some which I think are from before 1985 appear not to have a date code . is this normal ?

There is a lot of 60s with no code, not unusual for no code. Try to find a 1943 code.

They look like 1970's Snap-on, some are US made and some are Canadian made, My fathers were all from the 70's era! with no date codes.

My one and only..........mixed in with a set of G-code 1944 sockets.

Unless my eyes deceive me, I see an E code, Todd. Did you post the wrong photo?

My one and only...

...but it's a good one and only to have!

Re-using everything on the M-70M 9/32-inch drive ratchet, but inserting a drive plug with a 1/4-inch drive stud instead, these GM-70M ratchets preceded all other 1/4-inch drive tools (sockets, extensions, other handles) in production, which did not show up in a catalog until Q, the 1945 catalog, printed and published in late 1944.

This would make a fun contest! (On a separate thread, of course... Sorry bodger!)

The 43 coded tools are hard to find.
