Well, I did get around to cleaning off the dies and inserts and wouldn't yo know, the ratchet is a Reed and so are like two of the dies. The other 3 dies have that really old Craftsman(BE socket timeframe and font) logo on them, so I wonder if this is a bastard set, or whether that's the way they did things back when metal was scarce during the war? I guess some of the thin ones could have broken and the replacements said Reed on them, but who knows. The rat spins nicely, but is a bear to clean, so, I may leave that for retirement.
