First Gen. Ratchet Adapter??

A friend sold me this for a few dollars since he knew I collected weird Snap-On tools and this one likely qualifies. It has very faint depression era logo and a patent date of 1-30-23. It's 1/2" Drive. The spring loaded function works just fine, but I may soak it in some ATF and see if things loosen up a bit. If any of you have some history on it, I'd be much in your debt. I'll sell the 2nd one I find.....lol

Attended a "condo" 3rd party estate sale and usually they don't have squat for tools, but this one was full of old Snap-on stuff and an example of their pricing structure was a shock. Long handled 1/2" Flex over with an immaculate S 67 ratchet adapter on it for $4. Near full set of 1/2" Impact deep wells in SAE sizes for $10. That was just the beginning. The Waterloo Roll chest they sold me had two of the through bolt SO double jointed ratchets I think they forgot to dig out of the drawer. One was 18mm and the other 7/8" with some through bolts sockets. Anyway, thanks for listening....

That one was the third version. (hard to find) made into the early 30s. the two earlier ones were taller, one with bigger cogs.
