Picked this up at an estate sale today.Missing a handle(Allen wrench will work) and one socket(have to go back tomorrow to look for it)but I couldn't pass it up for $5.Box is lithographed tin and in decent shape. Background is 1"(25.4mm) squares.

Is there any sign of a copper coating left on the sockets?

Sweet find.

Very nice. Would love to see a side shot of the sockets.
They are out in the shop at the moment.Iam posting another set I bought at the same place this morning(couldn't find the missing socket or wrench but have extra wrenches)but will get them and post this afternoon.

VERY nice!
I live near Bethlehem PA and never saw, or heard, of this company.
Allentown is a neighboring city to Bethlehem. Bonney used to have factory/forge there to make some Bonney tools.

Funny, I never see any local tools like this near me. I guess I have to look harder.

Here are the pics of the side view of the sockets.It appears that one of them has had the knurl ground off for some reason(easy ID maybe?).On looking in the Alloy Artifacts site I found that this was a part of a larger tool kit which would explain the missing handle.

I grew up in Bethlehem, and still live on the outskirts of the Lehigh Valley. It's possible that those tools may have come from, or had some tie-in to the old Champion Spark Plug plant, in Hellertown. The factory building is still there, right at the I-78 exit for Hellertown.
