Not long ago I stumbled onto this APCO Mossberg Spark Plug Socket set among some old car stuff I inherited from my dad, while searching for some rubbing compound. I thought that some Tool Talk members might like to see them. So here they are, ONLY for those who like
OLD tool porn!
Most notably, this set is dated, because of the original paper-label-spark-plug-size chart, which is still intact on the front. The newest model listed is a 1932, which probably gives us a pretty good idea about the age, right?
Interestingly, the Duesenberg listing is misspelled!
It is interesting to note that some pretty rare cars are listed on this little label, including the Cunningham and the DeVaux.
Below is a close-up of one of the sockets.
After looking it over pretty closely, I am now convinced that some of the sockets in this set are period-correct, but not from the original set, since they do not have the part numbers stamped into the sockets. And those part numbers are featured on the paper label on front.
I'm guessing that the paper label on the front of this wooden box is probably more uncommon than the sockets and even the box itself. What do you folks think?
