Vintage Blackhawk sockets
« 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?

Gazza will be frothing at the mouth over those!
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

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.
Always lookin' to learn
