Indestro "Tools of Progress"

[HeelSpur]

Does anyone have the D-l set of Duro-Chrome sockets? I got this set today and the sticker inside says "Tools of Progress" but at the bottom of this page http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/duro-indestro-p2.html there is an almost identicle set but the sticker says "Super-Quality". Are there two sets of these for that time? All my sockets have the D-l on them. And the 2 8pt sockets have the S on them too. The 2 on the top right are the same type of sockets but with no markings and the hex sockets only have the size printed on them. The box is 9 3/4" x 3 1/4".

AA's dating on these is weak at best.

It is interesting to note that the name of the 1933 worlds fair was "Century of Progress "

Catalogs in the 30's use"Tools of Progress" , but I dunno when the first use is....

Either way, I would lean more to pre-war for your set.

Thanks Rusty, I was thinking they were earlier like the page says but the olive drab color on the box kinda threw me off. Everything seemed to be painted that color around WW2.
