Old socket set was created by gary in CA
My cousin won this old socket set from 1913 at a white elephant gift exchange. Can’t believe how lucky he was. 
I was wondering if anyone has any information on them

That is interesting in that almost all the sockets are Hex geometry. A lot of the old sets included many square sockets as many square bolts and nuts were still in use when the sockets were made. My old set has about 20 hex and 10 square sockets.

I too have a set handed down from at least three generations
You might look at L.S. Starrett -
Those sockets were stamped and I would not suggest using them!
NICE FIND!
Do some looking on E-bay - might be surprised.
