7/8 drive

Post by Oldtuleguy »

Have not really seen alot of 7/8 drive stuff. I have some sockets from 1930 and a ratchet and tbar from 27. Ratchet appears to be same as 5/8 but with a 7/8 plug. T bar has two retainer balls and if you put a socket on it you will have to pry it back off. Just wondering if anyone has some other examples of these clunkers maybe some pics?

I see a couple of later style ratchet heads, I am guessing that's what was used as replacements after flat ratchets were discontinued?

I have been continuing my 7/8 drive collection and have found a 1925-26 set? Based on the box dimensions and lack of date codes. Catalog shows a decal on underside of lid, but it is long gone. Anyone have any examples of decals from that time frame?

I would say probably 26 then as what paint is left is black...
