I'm hoping someone can tell me who made these sockets.
They have a knurling around the bottom and just have a size stamped on them.
Thanks in advance

I'd love to know too. I have a very,very similar 1/4 dr set, some extra socket sizes with some being 8 pt. (as are some of yours) plus a 1/4 dr swivel bar (no ratchet). Will have to search for it and examine it more closely, I guess.

My first SWAG would be either early S-K (because of the taper) or Duro Chrome (as early Duro produced stuff sometimes had little additional marking besides the size).

I first thought SK and did a search, but I havn't seen anything with that small knurled band around the bottom.

I bought this same set yesterday without knowing! Can't believe it. Just when I thought my life couldn't get any weirder.
Grabbed it at an estate sale but never looked at the sockets, assuming they were Bonney like the flex extension. Two Williams sockets were in there too.

I have to agree with you guys, they look S-Kish to me. They have the flat bottoms like old SK sockets for one thing. Duro/Indestro is a good guess too because of all their unmarked tools. I think Bonney marked all their tools. One thing I know for sure, they aren't Williams.

That box and the knurling on the sockets look the same. I've searched images of many brand names the last week with no luck.
