Son brought home some old tools a old guy gave them to him that was going to a old folks home. Some of the sockets have numbers on them, my guess British!

They look like plumbers tools and sockets.

Pretty neat no matter what thay are.

thats what i thought also... like faucet stem sockets.. except those are not hollow....

the handle looks like it ratchets ....

i would think some farm tractor  or implement from the early part of the last century... (i mean like 1900 to 1920.)    


Q: any markings..     other than the numbers.....

There some letters accross the top what looks like "PiCK-UP PAT D", or maybe "Fick-GR Pat D". Hard to say for sure! I though the numbers on the sockets would tell us something. Will make a good conversation piece Christmas day at the gathering.

ok... so now we know it is for a pick up  and that is was patented... but how old a pickup uses square bolts also...  perhaps we have not been thinking large enough... i might have been derailed in my thoughts of size...or perhaps of scale...am i just steaming about this...
