Wonder if those handles are pre-WWII ?

I immediately made the same two observations ... you know I went straight to the page with the #6 handle to see just what it looked likein this catalog!

I also got a 69-70 catalog on the way, but we already have a scanned copy of that from the Internet Archive.
As I get more, I'll scan and forward on!

Very cool Earl, and again much appreciated! Very interesting to see how the line progressed through the catalog documentation. I'll never be a serious collector like Sue on Xacto but I still have some things I want. I'm really happy with what I've purchased so far and using these vintage tools for my rocket builds is just great. I really like the older numbered blades too. Keeping those sharp and trying to be careful to to break them.
Like GH said in a previous post if you treat these tools right they are certainly well made and strong enough to last a lifetime.
