Very Rare pre-craftsman SK produced Fulton socket set 4070 ratchet vintage 1930s:
$69.99

This is a very rare set. The SK-made Fulton tools were sold by sears roebuck prior to the introduction of the Craftsman line. SK continued to produce some sears socket sets, most notably the 3/4 units. Here we have an interesting set with all Fulton pieces with the exception of the slightly later 1 1/4 socket (also an early SK product). There is a 1/2 drive ratchet that is most likely an SK 4070 (early 1930s), but the marking has been worn off. It might be that this upgraded ratchet was purchased a bit later than the production of the Fulton socket set.
The set includes 16 1/2 drive 12 point sockets, 6 double square sockets, two misc mossberg square drive sockets, a speed handle, a breaker bar, a double male extension (shows heavy use), the female ratchet, the male ratchet plug, and the ratchet that appears to be SK. The 7/16 socket is double square, not 12 point.The sockets are old, rusty, and two have a crack. The metal box is bent and rusty (but closes and the latches work). The 4070 ratchet works very well. The Fulton ratchet clicks and moves, but has play in it. The sliding T bar is bent on the end.
