I just picked up this socket set yesterday, it seems to be an Indestro Super Quality set from 1938-1939. I have a lead on a ratchet, but I am missing the #2718 socket, it's a 3/8 drive 9/16 socket with an unusual narrow band knurling. All the socket will say is Chromiun Vandium, size, and part number, no makers name or forge marking.

Thats nice. I've never seen any sockets like that.

Good luck in your quest. I have not physically seen any of those yet.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

And, of course, the set shown on Alloy Artifacts is also missing the 9/16th socket.  :grin:

 great catch, interesting about both sets missing the 9/16" socket,  many moons ago the 1/2" - 9/16"  DOE wrench were the owns
that walked out of my tool box the most.
