I picked up a pretty complete Speedmaster 1/2 drive set today at the flea. I was pretty stoked, since up until now all I have found are individual pieces here and there.
Now, the pieces were all in the top tray of an old Ward's turquoise colored box. I seem to recall Speedmaster being a Montgomery Wards brand, but what I am curious about is whether the tools would have come in a Wards box or a Speedmaster-marked box originally?
I will get some pics up later after all the items have been cycled through my ridiculously awesome ultrasonic cleaner. The internals of the ratchet are pretty neat.
