Thought you guys might get a kick out of this old ratchet my Grandfather gave me for my birthday a year back
Apparently, after WWII, he picked this baby up from a surplus sale somewhere, and used it for 63 years before handing it over to me. Part of the nob is broken off, but it is still going strong, and it the best ratchet I've ever used.
According to some website I found, the WF designation means Wright Field, as Plomb produced tools such as this for the war effort.

That's pretty nice. Too bad about the broken lever, but if it works it works.

I happen to have a US made monkey wrench that says Sparta on it. That's pretty cool.
