These old 1/4" drive Craftsman sockets have definitely seen some use. Anyone know around what years they were being sold?

They are the underlined c so they are some of the oldest. What makers marks do they have?? Are they circle u, circle h ?? The circle h are made by hinsdale, circle u by plvmb. I know new britain also made them but I can't remember their manufacturer mark...

Generally "Long C" Craftsman are mid 30's to mid 40's.

The makers marks can possibly narrow that.

There is also a circle v but I'm not sure of the OE
