Who Made It?
« on: March 03, 2014, 10:09:09 AM »
Does anyone who made this?


http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-EARLY-UNIVERSAL-JOINT-/161238955995?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258a9737db


I have one in a set that has a Syracuse #780 ratchet, and one or two others in various sets (I don't remember which ones)

Mossberg hardly ever plated socket things, only the bicycle wrenches

Syracuse or CMB perhaps?

The one in the Syracuse (I think) set is not plated.


Thanks Rusty, the other one I have could be from a Chas Miller

Have a universal in a box with walden Worcester sockets and a ray ratchet. Doesn't look like a walden universal but maybe ray. Don't have photo of Packer universal to compare but will do a little research to see if is a Ray.

Found a Ray/Packer set on an old wrenching news auction with that universal in it, leaning  in that direction, but not certain...


"0104. Socket set in unmarked metal box with ratchet marked: PACKER AUTO SPECIALTY CO. - CHICAGO USA - TRADEMARK RAY - PAT. PEND, and 30 sockets, universal adapter, and an extension. Box has been repainted"

Looks to me that a "definitive" answer has been found!

mrchuck:  Show me one or two other "complete sets" with a universal and I'd tend to agree. Judging from my own "sets," that is.
