Found this while looking for other wrenches-think this was a forerunner of the newer fine tooth ratchet-1/2" drive and was part of a set designed for Ford with extensions and pressed/stamped sockets which came in a wood box.  This still works(Needs cleaning out the dirt and rust inside the head) maybe the sockets were made by Mossburg and the other accessories too?  Cranky

Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!

I never knew there was a Syracuse Wrench. The building would have been within walking distance of the original Franklin car factory and Porter-Cable building. The Porter-Cable building still stands and houses quite a few smaller businesses. The Frankiln plant is long gone.

Perhaps part of this set?

(They made a different , pretty nickel plated ratchet with cast sockets also...)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
