This is an nice clean, 1930's vintage 10" long, 1/2" socket ratchet wrench! It is marked "PAT. NO. 1,902,878" but like many Indestro tools is not marked with the makers name. The patent is under the Indestro/Duro Chrome holdings, and this is an early version with the ball lock 1/2" square insert that needs to be removed and set in on the other side of the square hole in the wrench to reverse direction of use. Meaning, this wrench has no reverser switch by design, later models did however. This wrench is clean, no rust, some minor dings, works fine! There is a OIL hole to lubricate the ratchet mechanism. A rare antique mechanic's tool!
