Anybody know anything about this ratchet? It's 10.75" long and marked "NUBO" (with two star logos) on one side and "BRITISH MADE" on the other.

Bus, you always come up with the good ones. Are you going to the Bill Kuntz auction Nov 5th in Eureka ILL, or the Ohio Tool Collectors meet on Nov 6th in Grand Rapids OH?
