the marking looks like an M over a T - no clue

 

[Bierisch]

what is the Model #?

 

[kwoswalt99]

It has kind of an Apex type look to it. It's most likely a quality tool whatever brand it is.

 

[ekegelmann]

it does have an apex look to it for sure. someone has to recognize this logo.

I second the model number request. I can see part of it to the left of the symbol. Also, does it say USA on it anywhere?

 

[Bierisch]

Did this ever get solved?

I guess time to spend some time on the Alloy Artifacts site looking at the pictures
the symbol must have been a trademark of whatever brand-if that is metric seems like it would narrow down the possible list of brands -was Bonney one of the first USA makers of metric sizes?

Matco a modern spinoff of the old Mac Tool and too recent to have made that?

 

[ekegelmann]

im confused for sure

That is an unusual one. Could be a small company but I don't know why that symbol looks so familiar.

I would bet money that they are factory use sockets. I would also bet money that they are proto or apex. A tool store I go to gets production used sockets and other stuff really cheap. They have a lot of new Blackhawk/challenger as well. They get sockets by the crate, and there is usually a good mix of proto factory used(not marked) and random unused other brands like snap on, lisle, cornwell, mac, lots of sk, etc. I wish I knew where they get these crates from. You could probably build some nice sets.

 

[ekegelmann]

still trying to figure it out! lol

The deep 30 mm is a common style, sold in auto parts stores since the early '80's for loosening the axle nuts on front drive cars. I have one that looks like it, says 30 mm and USA but no other markings. I think it was bought in the mid '80's.

The other sockets are most likely specialty industrial tools of some sort.
