Gang,
The C-98 ratchet posted by kxxr above was likely made by Hinsdale. I have only seen one of these Crafty ratchets in a private collection. But, I have seen several similar looking Hinsdale ratchets.
The C-97 and C-98 ratchets are of totaly different designs and appear be unrelated by OEM.
Why they have similer series or model numbers I do not know and won't speculate.
