Got this at the flea market yesterday. Approx. 3" x 6".
Any idea what went in it?
The divider doesn't even go half way across.
Boxes that I have seen for socket sets usually have a full width slanted divider.

It might be a 1/4" set box I've got one from about 1975 that I bought which doesn't have anything to hold the sockets.
That metal inside might have helped stabilize a plastic tray that's missing....maybe, although your logo on that box might predate plastic...
DM&FS
definatly pre-dates plastic........lol
the box is for a 4407 3/8 drive deep socket set. the partition was to keep the shorter sockets (3/8-9/16) from sliding around. sorry I cant scan the page, but it's listed in my 43 catalog.
Ahh...now I remember that set style, the shorter sockets go *under* the lip...

I snap up every metal box I come across these days...

Ah, that makes sense.
So just sockets ?
No driver tools ?

correct
here is a 1980's set for an example of what was in the set and what purpose the partition served.......sorry about the crappy cell phone pic.

Great, now I'll obsess about finding the sockets.
Looks like:
3/8 - 7/16 - 1/2 - 9/16 short
5/8 - 11/16 - 3/4 - 13/16 long
or are the longer ones something else ?
5/8 - 3/4 - 7/8 - 1" maybe
