Up for sale is a highly collectible piece of American tool history: an authentic **1928 Snap-on No. 7 push-through 1/2" drive ratchet wrench**. This tool was manufactured during Snap-on's foundational years while their operations were still based entirely in Milwaukee, just two years before their historic 1930 relocation to Kenosha, Wisconsin.**Design Features:**
* **Early Pass-Through Style:** Built before modern directional selector switches. Requires a male-to-male drive plug (not included) pushed through to either side to change ratcheting direction.
* **Hole-In-Handle Handle:** Features the classic early handle design with a leverage hole at the base and original machined edge traction grooves.
* **Historical "Skyline" Patina:** Features an incredibly unique, naturally occurring dark oxidation pattern on the neck that closely resembles a city skyscraper skyline silhouette. **Condition Report:**
The tool is in **good, honest vintage condition** for being nearly 100 years old. It has an uncleaned, authentic dark grey patina with localized surface pitting and oxidation consistent with age. The forged lettering "Snap-on", "MILWAUKEE USA", and the "28" date code remain legible. The internal ratcheting gear mechanism functions smoothly with distinct, heavy clicks. No personalization engravings or owner's marks. *Please study the macro photos closely to judge the condition and unique patina patterns for yourself before purchasing. Sold as-is.*---### 🏷️ Search Tags / Keywords
