1930

Im gonna start out with this 1/4 Snap-On socket clip, looks like it has barely been used, some very small areas of slight surface rust forming at the base of the clip but should clean up with a little bit of WD-40 and some steel wool.

I was told that this was the very first socket clip that Joseph Johnson himself hand stamped out way back in 1920 but I have no concrete proof.

I will add though that if one were to  look at the backside very closely and under just enough magnification one would swear under Bible ( not me :) ) that  a number 1 is visible ( although honestly I am contemplating if that is just a bit of surface rust )

I am also under the impression that the number 2 socket clip just recently sold ( popular online auction ) for the sum of two million dollars but I just dont have the time or energy to list something on E-bay and deal with all the con-artists.

Screwdriver NOT included.
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Ok, someone school me....what is a socket clip? Like used on a rail with others to hold sockets? Or some other use?

Little confused with this post?

ok, socket clip, I get it now. Thought 1930 was being serious. I'm all full up on socket clips at the moment, even a couple rails to go with them.

No thanks on the proto wrenches, if they were Wright tool co. I'd be all over them!

No problem, this is what I have to offer, let it stay up for a while and if no-one wants them ( cant imagine why not ) than someone else can go, I have other tools I do not mind giving away but these are nice wrenches and someone will eventually come along that wants them.
I thought Proto was pretty popular with you guys

Lets start out with these, 2 Crafty's & a Blackhawk (1/4" ers)



Not just saying this but these are VERY nice! Received these tonight and was very pleased. Do not have any 1/4 breaker bars and cant remember seeing any recently if at all.

Maybe someone would like this box, I planned to try and fill it but maybe I do not need another project, nice condition other than the paint loss.

That is a very nice box and offering.  Like you, I do not need another project.    :cry:

What the heck, 1930?  I've got a weakness for metal boxes.  I'll take it.  I'm sending you a message with my address.
