Finally had a chance to go through one tray. They mostly consisted of Cleveland Twist, Chicago Latrobe, Morse, and Miller's Falls. If anyone wants a pic of any let me know otherwise I assume you've probably already seen it. Most are badly worn.
One I did find cool is a Stanley Sweetheart logo bit. Cribbing from another site on the history of the logo here:
Well, I can crib from John Walter with the best of them, and he and other respected purveyors of tool lore, notably Roger K. Smith, after all, learned it somewhere else themselves, so here's a shot: The S.W. in the heart design appeared "according to my sources", in various configurations below the notched rectangle STANLEY logo, from c. 1920 to c. 1934. It was preceded by the "V logo" and followed by the simple notched rectangle. Before 1920 the Stanley Rule and Level Co. and Stanley Works existed as two separate companies (it's a long story...) For some time before the merger of the two firms in 1920, Stanley Works had been using the heart logo with SW inside, in recognition of company stalwart William H. Hart, who served the firm for 61 years and was Chairman of the Board from 1915-18 (when he "retired" at age 84 and died the following year!). After the merger, tradition has it that employees were invited to suggest a new logo for the now united operation, and what we now call the Sweetheart logo on Stanley tools was born. Although the use of the SW in the heart was formally dropped in favor of the simple notched rectangle in 1934, the older combination logo still came out of the plant on various product lines until the old stock was used up over the next several years. The rest, as they say, is history. Tom Holloway
