Title: Vintage Blackhawk sockets
Post by: Lookin4_67GalaxieConv on June 16, 2019, 11:44:08 PM

Picked these up a couple of weeks ago and took them for a spin on the wire wheel.  Any info on them?  Pre WW2?

Nice looking old set.  Hard to find complete sets of old sockets

They were in a crusty old tub covered in dirt and rust.  There's one more socket that I couldn't fit on the rail.

It looks like those could be Dxx series sockets from the late 20's to early 30's.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  Those are 12 pt sockets pictured.  Also got some six point ones to clean up.

Thanks Muddy.  The main reason I was there was to pick up an OTC tool box. (Pics coming soon)  Guy had a fair amount of tools and a lot of odds and ends.  Paid $60 for a CRV full of junk, then sold some Nissan tie down cleats for more than I paid for the lot so it's all gravy now.    ;D

If all sockets were knurled like this there'd be no need for thumb spinners.
