I saw a cute little yankee handyman ratcheting screwdriver that I just HAD to buy.  It reads, "Yankee Handyman No 2 H"  I've not seen one of these before, but feel like it is probably fairly common.....  does anyone have info?
cheers,
bird.

North Bros, and later Stanley made billions of them ;P
However, the 2H has a non replacable blade, usually the blade is trashed...
Keeper if it is good, small ratcheting screwdrivers are nice :)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

As far as I know they came with  either a black handle or an ivory one. They are neat little pieces.
All my taste is in my tools.
