Handles like these? Date from the 80's, before FACOM bought out SK in 1985.
It took me some years to find the few I have. I'm not selling, but posted the pic might help your search. They are quite popular for their handles.

Those must date to at least 1970, no?

I bought my set in 1980 I think, so, they could be a 70's design.
The stubby Phillips above is the sole survivor of that set that I still have. The standard stubby I got last year.

I have about a dozen in my stash-maybe more??  Will try to get a descent picture of them.  LMK if any interest-I like to trade for USA made ratchets if at all possible!  Will also sell outright.  PM me back if interested...........Cranky

Gang,

If you look at cranky's photo above you will note one green handle without the white stripe... I believe that is an SK-Wayne, ca. 1962-1968; this would be the beginning of the SK green handles.

The later green and white SK handles are Dresser era ca. 1968-1984/1985, picking up up where SK-Wayne left off and ending in 1985 when the Facom era began and changing to the modern 4-sided solid green handle.

Thanks for the plug!  I also have a stubby in picture 1 of the four sided Facom scdr era--I'm trying to catch up to the new round handles & present ones also!!

Actually the second one from the bottom in the picture is a white/green handle-my oops as I forgot to turn it over before taking the picture!
