Snap-on ratchet No. 7
« on: May 15, 2019, 05:22:53 PM »

Got a No. 7 today.  It is beautiful.  Barely used, based on the lack of wear on the removable plug.
There is a nice article here:  http://www.collectingsnapon.com/index.php?page=socket_sets/1-2inchdrive/HalfRatchet

Mine is 1927-29.  BTW, I got a No. 6 Ratchet Adapter (third version, shown on the same page) for an extra dollar when I bought some sockets: Blackhawk arrowheads, Snap-on overstrikes, and an old Hinsdale.

Here is mine. It is triple date coded, ‘29, ‘30 & ‘31. Apparently multiple date codes weren’t unusual back then.

Looks familiar.
Triple date codes?  Very strange.

Congrats on the old No. 7. It sounds like you got a nice one. Lots of good information on that web page too. (I do have to chuckle though on how the guy uses the word "paws" instead of pawls.) :grin:
