Just found this 3/8 drive ratchet, looks like pre 1950. Some chrome remains, reverse lever. Logo is a small S W in a oval. Followed by 4C50-A-. The head is oval reminiscent of Proto. Head held together with 2 large philips screws. Did a quick look on alloy artifacts, no luck. I have a large quanity of tools back to the 20s , and never seen the s w stamp. Any ideas? Camera still not talking to the computer.

Could it be Stevens - Walden? GJ had a discussion about a year ago on a wrench marked S-W.

Obviously used by Smith and Wesson back in day to torque on side plate screws
Sorry
Elroy couldn't resist the opportunity

No piccy's Elroy :-[

Yup, Stevens-Walden, but a Smith & Wesson .375 "caliber" ratchet would be very 8)....
Add .25 "cal" and .50 BFG ratchets to round out the set.

Look like this 3/4" drive version but smaller?

Yes, round knurled handle. Odd to see a brand unknown to me, at my age!
