Indestro Chromium Vandium 9/16 socket needed
« on: December 04, 2017, 01:29:49 PM »
I just picked up this socket set yesterday, it seems to be an Indestro Super Quality set from 1938-1939. I have a lead on a ratchet, but I am missing the #2718 socket, it's a 3/8 drive 9/16 socket with an unusual narrow band knurling. All the socket will say is Chromiun Vandium, size, and part number, no makers name or forge marking.

Good luck in your quest. I have not physically seen any of those yet.

And, of course, the set shown on Alloy Artifacts is also missing the 9/16th socket.  :grin:

 that walked out of my tool box the most.
