1930s SK Ratchet

Got this at a antique shop for $1 and it had a really nice SK socket and the ratchet was Rusty and I cleaned it up and research it and found out it was from the 30s

Only if it doesn’t inconvenience you, I know there’s a few of us that would be interested, drop it off in the ratchets thread we got a great discussion going in there

NP I will do it first thing tomorrow ?

Attention @Conductor562

That is an awesome score! 80 year old ratchet and pitted chrome is it’s only problem, wow! That’s actually really impressive considering that chrome plating was invented in like the 20s or early 30s! It also has your colors!

Awesome deal for $1 looks good now

Currently I do not. Dad had one years ago, and I think it came from my grandfather, but I’m not sure what ever became of it.

Sweet find I just scored an old craftsman ratchet with a yellow handle I’ve never seen one like it. It is very smooth to be so old I like it. Did some research on it to find it is from 39-42 and hard to find. I also got a 1/4 John Deere ratchet I think it might be made by Bonney but not sure. I got a few old new to me ratchets last I’ll mention are a set of long handle snap on military ratchets which are mint and dated 63 the handles are cool and an old snap on sf710 1/2 in 3/8 body I love that thing. I like to buy unusual ratchets .

Yes, your 1/4″ John Deere ratchet was made by Bonney. They are very collectible as well.
