I can't find a catalog picture that matches the writing exactly, so I am not sure what time frame they are from. Great writing, great cutting edges. Just need cleaned up if so desired. The catalog screenshots I put on the listing are from 1935, 1950 and 1961. Before 1935, it looks like the 72 nippers had hammer sides. I am going to phase out the combined shipping I was doing. People weren't really taking advantage of it anyway. Now, if you want combined shipping, put them in your cart and purchase them (do not pay) and request a total. The total for several wrenches, as long as they are of average size, will be quite a bit less than buying each individually.
