This set was produced to the 1922 patent 1,428,840 assigned to William Gates, (no, not that one) who was president of the Eastern Machine Screw Co. at the time. The set was a heavy duty 5/8" drive and included speed handle, handle, extensions and a ratchet head as well as the sockets.
Garage Journal has the set well covered in this thread.

The configuration at 3:00 is an interesting setup. Speed handle, universal joint, and extension pointing southwest... maybe it's called the "toilet auger."
