Hello,

 

I found this old rachet on the farm of my grandpa, i wonder how old and what brand (if any) it is. And if i have a chance of repairing it.

It’s fairly old but some manufacters kept making that style into the 50s. I”d guess 20s-30s. I know it’s not Snap On, though they had a similar style. Are there any text on it? Indestro, New Britain, Husky, Starrett, Blackhawk, Plomb and many brands that most never heard of were making ratchets similar to that.
