Western Socket Set

[toolmutt]

I updated my wanted thread but thought I would post here also just to display them for your amusement. This was a set I inherited from my dad. Thanks to KnurledNut and some ebay finds, I am almost ready to say, "Complete." I'm still searching for a 6" extension. My dad used a DuroChrome 689 ratchet with the set so I'm letting it stay with.

I discovered that the "Western" brand is not common. It is obviously a Duro product, presumably for Western Auto, but pieces are hard to find. The folks at Alloy Artifacts had not even heard of it.

Anyway, here's what I have.

Very nice. Clearly Duro as you said, they made tools under a bunch of brand names. I usually see their Duro-chrome,Indestro,Westcraft and Wizard stuff. Just picked up some not often seen Patriot branded sockets..Western has to be a bit uncommon.

I don't see much Western in central Ohio maybe a few items every so many years at the flea type places.
