SNAP-ON 1/2" Drive Breaker Bar. The age of a Snap-On tool can be determined by the markings as well as the lack of markings. One detail to note about this early breaker bar is that the drive end has three balls, a detent ball plus two fixed balls to limit the socket travel. The logo style, lacking the "Made in Milwaukee" marking (which came later in the 20's but before the move to Kenosha around 1930) date this to 1920 - 1923 era. This tool was part of the original 1920 set that consisted of a breaker bar, short and long T-handle spinners, and short and long speeder (crank) handles. These five drive tools, along with ten matching sockets, formed the famous Snap-0n advertisement, "15 Do the Work of 50", extolling the virtues of interchangeable tools. Very nice condition.
