If it needs an RHFT, I may have a spare one. Let me check when I get back in town on Sunday.

That would be cool to try out an RHFT, but I found another of the same flying V set listed in a crown logo Permanex case so I'm thinking it does in fact belong.

Maybe the Permanex cases came out in '66 or came out in '67 and there were still some Flying V's left.

Thanks for the offer,  after I get my boots bought ( trying for Monday ) I'd love to buy it off you.

Now I'm cursing " DAMN YOU USPS " it left my regional Sacramento distribution center 45 miles +/- away on Friday at 4:am and is still in transit.

This has happened to me before, when things leave at 2:am they arrive at the post office around 6:am and I have them that day, but quite often if they leave the distribution center at 4:am they end up delayed for some reason.
I don't know how 2 hours later becomes days, but it does.

As you can probably guess I'm wound like a clock when I'm awaiting packages  ;D
As I've been ordering more frequently It's calmed down a bit, but I've still got package fever.

Are you in Davis, Woodland? Or up in Yuba or Marysville?

Colusa county, a real dinky little town called Arbuckle.
Haven't been to anywhere except woodland in a while with all the back roads flooded which we take to get to colusa or yuba City.

I think I'm done with 1/4" ratchets right now, I've got a set on its way now that I have to start trying  out to see if I'm going to keep it .

Heh, I know where Arbuckle is. The farmers out that way used to send me all the push/pull Cablecraft cables to replace when I worked at Lehr. My wife grew up in Glenn Co. just north of there in Orland.

My aunt and uncle live in Orland.
They all grew up in williams, theres a flea market there with the occasional tool but it's nothing like it was when I was a squirt.
I  my grandmother used to go and hang out with her Yahtzee friends, she'd give me a couple dollars and set me free.
I usually spent it on as many of those strawberry bon bon hard candies as it would get me.

I'm not a sci-fi kind of guy, but that still sounds better than Butterfly ratchet.
