Dunlap Socket Set
« on: September 04, 2013, 04:04:32 PM »
Dunlap is stamped or molded into the handle. There are both hex and square sockets. I think Dunlap was a Sears product. I've had this probly 60 years maybe more. 

In 1965 my son was 2YO, found this set, played with it and all the sockets disappeared;  read scattered all over the house. I asked him to find them cause I needed em. He did. Put em all back in the case in order. Took a couple days.

I have the same set coming from my grandfather.  His has a plastic sleeve (red on bottom and clear on top) that serves as somewhat of a case around the tray.

Tom? Dunlap was VP of toll marketing at Sears sometime around WWII. I think he chose his own name to replace Companion. If Gary Lauver stops by, he'll know for sure.
