I have a couple 1/4dr deep sockets (STMM 13) is one, with the logo upside down. I"m wondering if there real since all other logos on sockets are stamped the other way. I added a pic, thanks

each socket is manually placed in a machine and embossed with the name and size so if the person placing it puts it in the opposite direction it will be backwards. this is done before it is heat treated and chrome plated. over the years I saved some that have no embossing or it went off center. most mistakes would have been caught thru inspection or warranted by the dealer.
