Some of my dad's sockets and wrenches from the 40s and 50s, I have a claw hammer that was his, probably dates to the early 60s and I also have a few of my father in law's wrenches from the 50s. I think my mother (88 years young) still has some of my grandfather's tools, but my brother may have gotten them by now.

It just proves that Snap-Off came into play with the earliest of tools.......

Mechanic's tools? I have a Plomb socket set from 1935. I got them from an old guy at a garage sale. It was his first set of tools, and a 16th birthday present.
Woodworking tools? I have a couple of Stanley planes that were made in the 1870's and 1880's. I use them quite a bit, but not as often as my 'new' planes, which date to 1902 to 1907.

I have a set of 9/32 drive sockets from 1925 and the T handle driver and a 9/32 M70N ratchet from 1937...
The only reason I know this is my son is going through my dads old snap on boxes and looked everything up.I asked him to clean up my first snap on tool boxes from 1975.
