Who Made It?

Does anyone who made this?

I have one in a set that has a Syracuse #780 ratchet, and one or two others in various sets (I don't remember which ones)

Mossberg.

[skipskip]

Sure??

looks different than most of the ones I have seen

[rusty]

Mossberg hardly ever plated socket things, only the bicycle wrenches

Syracuse or CMB perhaps?

[eddie hudson]

The one in the Syracuse (I think) set is not plated.


Thanks Rusty, the other one I have could be from a Chas Miller

Have a universal in a box with walden Worcester sockets and a ray ratchet. Doesn't look like a walden universal but maybe ray. Don't have photo of Packer universal to compare but will do a little research to see if is a Ray.

Found a Ray/Packer set on an old wrenching news auction with that universal in it, leaning  in that direction, but not certain...


"0104. Socket set in unmarked metal box with ratchet marked: PACKER AUTO SPECIALTY CO. - CHICAGO USA - TRADEMARK RAY - PAT. PEND, and 30 sockets, universal adapter, and an extension. Box has been repainted"

Looks to me that a "definitive" answer has been found!

mrchuck:  Show me one or two other "complete sets" with a universal and I'd tend to agree. Judging from my own "sets," that is.
