I found this for a buck at a swap meet last weekend. I don't recall ever seeing Western Auto branded tools so am wondering if it's supposed to have Wizard branded tools or something else.

Brian,
Some of my S-K manufactured sockets marked Chrome Alloy identified by AA as Brazil are also marked Western Giant on the opposite side, for what that’s worth. Your box looks kind of like an early S-K box as well. What drive size sockets do you think it came with?

I didn't know that. I knew about the Western Giant ratchet being an SK bevertail similar. I have to go look through my chrome alloys now to see if I have any Western Giants. Thanks for the info.

This is a 1/4" drive socket box and I agree that it looks like an early s-k box.

Brian,
Here are some 1/4” drive sockets made by Duro/Indestro and sold by Western as Westcraft. I guess they might be another possibility.
