Early Ferret sets

Post by ranger »

I have a complete '32,'33 Ferret set in the original box. How come you never see any of these listed for sale on any websites? I see alot of 1/2 drive stuff and even less 9/32 stuff. But you just dont see alot of the early Ferret sets? Are they that rare?

3/8 dr. from the early 30s are hard to find, esp. the set. I would call the set rare, the 3/8 dr sockets were thin, and probably did not hold up like the 1/2 dr. And this was the depression, just not that many sold. Does your's have Chicago stamed on it. Is it complete?

Yes it is complete. All the peices are '33,'34 code but the speeder is a '31. The 6" extension is the only peice that is not period correct. It is a '46. Probably a replacement back in the day. Im working on the correct one. The 3/4 socket is in rough shape and the sliding T is a little dull, but I hope to replace them in time. I also have two '33 ratchets with the interferance fit cover. The box is decent shape, it is olive drab in color but does not say Chicago. Overall I think I did pretty good for $50! Let me know if you have any of these peices? Maybe we can work something out? Thanks Snapmom. I will get pics. up soon! Wife is the comp. guru!
