Title: Really odd LANE UNIQUE "nut driver" type socket set
Post by: mvwcnews on March 30, 2022, 10:11:35 AM

Anyone ever see any of these LANE UNIQUE sockets, screwdrivers, or the ball pein hammer with the matching socket in the end of the handle?  I found this listing in a 1914 WYETH HARDWARE (St. Joseph, MO) catalog in the International Tool Catalog Library at archive.org.

What would be unique  would be to find one together still.   Never seen a Lane tool and I buy stuff of this nature often.

Lane's "Unique" Set A - 1912 Marshall-Wells Hardware Co. catalog pp 610

Do not know and have not heard of any reports of anyone actually finding one of these sets other than the engravings in old catalogs.
