What do I have?

Today I picked up this (two pictures) at a yard sale. I know the upper sockets are Keystone but the other ones and the canvas I do not know. This has been a good couple of weeks. I also got a nice Billings and two New Britain ratchet. Last week I picked up a mostly Snap On 3/4 inch socket set along with a Snap on 3/4 ratchet and a Proto for an embarrassingly small amount of money. I have a 3/4 set at work (Craftsman) that sees very little use. Today at a yard sale I run into ANOTHER 3/4 set. Mostly Proto again with two Proto ratchets. For $60..Now I have enough 3/4 stuff to last me until the year 8790.

Nice tool finds, a 3/4" drive ratchet is on my list though I don't go to any tool places much.

Elidas,

The sockets with the 5/8-inch male drive tang and the L-Handle are part of an Eastern Machine Screw H&G Socket and Ratchet-Wrench set. I own a complete set and I posted lots of photos and gushed about it on a GJ thread linked here. It's my favorite 1920's era socket set. The ratcheting mechanism that came with the set was very unique! As is the connectivity. Look inside that L-handle female opening. The split pin inside there applies pressure to the inside walls of the male drive tangs on the sockets. It's quite a design.

I have a picture of the tine inside but I didn't think it would show up. Thanks for the info!

No problem, brother. It's fortunate you found the sockets with something to turn them with. Without that, they're just a few strange sockets. Together with the sliding T/L handle, it's a partial set!
