Here is a pretty cool set in a condition you don't see too often:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Craftsman-15-pc-1-4-Ratchet-Socket-Breaker-Ratchet-Bar-Set-Box-/150662214080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23142af1c0
That set is what we use to call "Bitchen"! For all you youngsters, that term was used in the 60's, and means "Very Cool"! I wish I was young again, but only if I could re-live the 50's and 60's!
I have a set just like it, but not in the wrappers, and in new condition!

even the30's and 40's for some of us .I can remember in 1939 my father let me drive a four horse team by myself on the county road from our farm to a nieghbors farm. A big deal for me. bob w.
That is a nice set, since no-one else did I call dibs, you know that means, everyone else has to back off :) and let me have it and I trust the integrity of all tool talk forum members to do this 100% .
Thanks for posting the link!!

Oh, the hallucinogenic drugs got tested...
I see 8 point and 6 point sockets in this set.

I didn't see a ratchet in the box, but they list it in the title. Hmmm.....
@keykeeper, I believe it is in the wrapper as noted in the pics.

My grandfather always used to tell me: "Well, people talk about those 'good old days'.... well, these are the good ole days.
I suppose growing up without a home, water, or food will make you say a thing like that, and make a youngin' like me think twice before thinking there were perfect days in the past or perfect ones to come!!!
cheers, bird
Bird as we used to say way back then "Live in the Now"

Sold. Did you win it, Jason?
No I did not even pay attention after my last comment to the auction, my space is limited for collections so I stick with what I am most interested in.
did you guys see the metric set of craftsman that guy has for sale . deep sockets with 1/4 in and 3/8 in tatchets for 20 bucks
