Lane's Unique socket sets

>Sedgley was way after Lanes

Things were slower back then, a few years is not much time...

1916 issues of Automobile Dealer & Repairer in fact have advertisments for Both ratchet sets..
It is quite likely they were aware of each other's inventions...

Thanks for posting the ad Rusty. I've been calling the ratchet from the K&S set as Hexall in error.

I am interested in purchasing a K & S (Kolb & Sedgley) or a Sedgley Hexall soctet set if I'm able.  I am researching the R F Sedgley story.
