Very odd one!

That almost looks like one I'd try and make.  :smiley:
But the handle looks too newish and "light" for a female plug era tool.

If I had an old female plug ratchet that didn't work, I'd drive out the rivets holding it together, repair it, and reassemble with some allen socket head screws.

I had one very similar that was S·K but it was riveted where the nuts are. I have seen two or three others similar and all were riveted construction.
