This is an unmarked 1/4" drive that came out of my last auction score. Any ideas as to maker or vintage? Looks a bit like an SK  but not exactly the same as the picture I found.

I'm all ears, as I have one in 1/4" drive I've been studying.

From what I have seen, those are nice, tough little ratchets. I tried to buy one on Ebay once, but it went way over what I was willing to pay.

Seems like some of the guys on here have posted them before, but that may have been before the big crash wiped everything out.

I have one just like it in my collection.
It was advertised as an S-K, but there is no name on it.
Like yours.
PM me if you want to trade or sell it.

Looks like it would work good in tight spots. My only Frankenstein ratchet is a 1/2 inch drive Globemaster. Your appears to be well made and pleasing to the eye.

I had a 1/4" like that. I was told it was made by Wright.

I have one too.  I don't think anyone knows for sure who made them.  I have also seen posts on garage journal with no sure answer to the "Who made it?"

I've got a complete set with one of those ratchets. It was made by G.M. Co. in Long Island City,NY. Not to be confused with General Motors. From what I have been able to find out, they also made a pressed steel ratchet and all sorts of other metal products. The quality is not very good, sort of on the Oxwall level. Of the three ratchets I have, only one works really well, the sliding pawl  is subject to wear. I have Wright and a Speedmaster version of the Wright ratchet and they are much better tools.

Looks like this is the best info we have on them yet.  Thanks for your post and welcome to tooltalk.
