Got these today and all it says is USA & the size, do you know who made them?

Spin Tite, made by Stevens Walden.

The bottom 3 are ones I used to have.
I painted them the modern standard colors so they'd be easier to identify the size during use.

Cool, I guess they made long and short shanked drivers.

I didn't know they made long shank.
I sold mine because I had plenty of shorty's. If they'd been long like yours I would have kept them.
What sizes are they? They look to be 1/4", 5/16", and 11/32".

1/4", 3/16", & 5/16".

I don't think the hex drive nut drivers with "removable" sockets are spin-tites.  Spin-tites have integral round shank & socket, with the lower portion of the shank hollow to allow for running nuts down extra long threads.
Stevens made Spin-tites.  The older ones have very dark wood handles, later ones are lighter wood -- I've never paid attention to see if they made it into the plastic handle era.

I haven't tried to remove the sockets but why would they print a size on the shaft if the sockets were interchangeable?

I may have to retract the idea that Spin-Tites are always & only round shank with integral sockets , and having the portion of the shank adjacent the socket hollow.  That is true of the older ones that  I've paid any attention to, but they may have gone on to do something else later on.

As to why a hex shank nut driver might have fixed size sockets of different material (making them look detachable ) -- tough springy metal alloy for the shank & hard wear resistant alloy for the socket. 

I thought that hex bolt just held the magnet in place?

Chilly

As I recall, the Spin Tite's I had with hex shafts had the sockets spot welded onto the end. Seeing that I no longer have them I can't recheck and verify.
I figured they used hex shafts so one could put an adjustable wrench on it for more torque.
