Gray Bonney 3/8 ratchet


 I picked this up today for 75¢. The reversing lever is broken off but it works ok in both directions. Checking Alloy Artifacts, they suggest the ratchet was introduced in 1936 and show a slightly different version with just the Bonney name. Another difference is that this version is assembled with screws opposed to the Bonney's rivets, might be innovation from Gray.

 I might try to renovate the thing just for fun.
