Loxocket "Supreme Socket Wrench Series

[snapmom]

the 1935 Supplementary Snap on cat shows a "Supreme" set. "to the mechanic who is looking for the very best and can afford to buy a complete set" they had a "locking dial" that locks in the socket, ext etc. There is no retaining ball on the drive tools.
They only appeared in this cat, so they did not last long. One reason was the price, they were 62% higher that the regular set. They were cumbersome to use, and they did not interchange with any other tools.
this is the first use of this type of banded socket, also the first use of the pear head rat, and has the double tapered handles on the rat and bar. the rat is the fore runner of the 71-10.
The sockets have a 34 date code and the drive tools have a 35 date code.
I am missing a sock, so if anyone has some extras, please holler at me.

Reviving this old post. I just picked up this same set. Were you able to find any more of the sockets? I am missing 2 as they were replaced with the regular version and the 3/4" one is cracked.

Do you also know what this set is worth? Or any other history on them?

I have found a few more of these. I still need some pieces too. I do not have any extras. Nothing new on history. would be interested in buying your set
