How far back will Snap-On go? Any hope of getting parts for this ratchet on the left?

The is a date of manufacture code forged into that ratchet. It would be interesting to see when it was made.
My brother has one that looks like that. His was made in the 50's.

Mine is a Magnum bottom but the top was made for export. All the setup instructions were still with it,in Japanese.

They're fine, lifetime warranty. I don't have any but lots of my mechanics do.

Look at around the Snap On logo in the relief on the ratchet handle. Here is a link to the a chart showing the snap on forging date codes.

Here are both sides of the ratchet.

Had a chance to sort through the tool box I picked up yesterday.



Lots of stuff inside, 95 Craftsman sockets (all USA made), a bunch of wrenches, etc. some Snap-On, Mac and Matco stuff too.





Also this Crescent wrench.

 

[Guido Salvage]

Also in the box was this John Lambert style rasp, a full 17" long.



A couple of nice older USA made flaring tools. There is also a nice old tubing cutter as well.



Anyone know what this might be?



Perhaps the gem is this folding Stanley rule made of Rosewood and brass. It folds in 2 different directions.

Thanks for educating me, that is bound to work better than a screwdriver.
