This morning at garage sale found this little beauty. IHC 1/4 drive ratchet part no. 999311R1 Not in Gils list. Price was 25 cents and I coudn't turn it down.
Got a couple of other rats Mac and SK but they were 50 cents each. Total bill was 2.25 but I haggled it down to $3.
Oh yeah there was a Duro ratcheting box wrench included.

Jim,
That IHC ratchet is a nice find.

 Gil offered to double my money but he had his tongue in his cheek when he offered. Where did that tongue in cheek expression come from?

Putting on my lexicologist's hat-

QuoteThe ironic usage originates with the idea of suppressed mirth — biting one's tongue to prevent an outburst of laughter.

Ehhh.....lol

Are yopu collecting the later chrome IHC stuff? I see it once in a while, was wondering if there is any collector interest in it....

 Yes I'll collect any IHC wrenchs including newer ones. Overheard someone say they were doing better selling newer IHC wrenchs at recent MVWC meet.

These IHC wrenches sold for $700 on ebay today and even came with a free Farmall pedal tractor! Ebay item 200674647270

Oooooh! Was the Dunlap ratcheting box 5/8 x 3/4? I need that one to complete my set.

Bonneyman, will check don't remember and don't know where it is offhand.

Nice haggling
