CATERPILLAR Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Got this at a antique shop for $1 and it had a really nice SK socket and the ratchet was Rusty and I cleaned it up and research it and found out it was from the 30s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Attention @Conductor562 That is an awesome score! 80 year old ratchet and pitted chrome is it's only problem, wow! That's actually really impressive considering that chrome plating was invented in like the 20s or early 30s! It also has your colors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad had one years ago, and I think it came from my grandfather, but I'm not sure what ever became of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekTheToolGuy Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sweet find I just scored an old craftsman ratchet with a yellow handle I've never seen one like it. It is very smooth to be so old I like it. Did some research on it to find it is from 39-42 and hard to find. I also got a 1/4 John Deere ratchet I think it might be made by Bonney but not sure. I got a few old new to me ratchets last I'll mention are a set of long handle snap on military ratchets which are mint and dated 63 the handles are cool and an old snap on sf710 1/2 in 3/8 body I love that thing. I like to buy unusual ratchets . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
