unknown rat and socket
« on: April 16, 2016, 10:34:55 AM »
Got these at auction recently. Had to have this ratchet because I had not seen one. Anyone know who made him ?
No markings and froze up.  The 5 Bog sockets were a bonus. The other socket is marked only NC . Weird rectangular shape . Unknown usage.

Is the other side of the sockets just a regular hex or 12 point socket?

Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!

 Sorry about the slow response to the Bog question. Few 6 point and one large square.

For the ratchet, try patent no. 897,584 ( http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?number=897584&typeCode=0 ) -- Peoria, IL.
