No comments on the Walden socket set No. 3----so nobody knows any more than me about it??

Well, here is another old set by Bay State Tools.  They call it the Bay State Autokit and its early with the pressed steel sockets, but it does have a ratchet that reverses.  I think its complete, have not seen another to compare it with.

Northwoods----Thanks, last time I checked Alloy Artifacts (maybe a couple years ago) he didn't list the autokit.

Another great set coolford!!  I’m really impressed with the condition, originality and completeness of the sets you’ve been posting.  I’m looking forward to seeing more tools from your collection!

Walden socket set No. 27, the last one they sold in a wood box.  Box is supposed to be made of American Chestnut.  This one is complete according to the advertisement shown on Alloy Artifacts.  They apparently do not have this set.  I also have the No. 26 set which is  the same except does  not include the square sockets.

I bought this set on e-bay about 15 years ago, very incomplete and pieced it together over the years.  The most difficult items to find are the flat stamped wrenches and the top to the brace.  My No. 26 set is still in need of a couple of the stamped wrenches.  Looking back, I think i liked the sturdy boxes.
