I have only managed to find this Swedish one from 1933: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xz9J1Bo7YY2ADMnj8

You might be correct that they were made in the 30s or 40s, here they are in the 1933 catalogue:

Bahco No 15. The only F-type wrench they ever made, just so happens to be a 6" bicycle wrench. Made between 1928-1940's. The other end is a tire lever, witch is kinda neat. The finish looks really weird but its supposed to look like that. They called it "marbled finish".

A pair of really weird ones witch i have never seen before. They are like water pump pliers, but straight and GEARED! The movable jaw can be adjusted in three positions, so it gives you a really wide range of gripping. The stamping on the side reads: MADE IN SWEDEN TO-TACT PAT. PEND. I have...

Terminators use them to fix themselves.

Nice!

Like new side cutters from EA Berg. With plastic handles, which i believe makes them even more rare. Most EA Berg pliers had the manufacturing year stamped on the inside of the handles, but this pair don't because of the plastic handles. Well it might have beneath the handles but I'm not gonna...

Hammer made by FE Lindström. I had no idea they also made hammers, but apparently they did. I found an ad from 1933 where they list them. They only made one model hammer in four sizes. Available with ash or hickory handles, where the hickory was remarkably more expensive. What's more interesting...

This is my tiniest wrench, it's for adjusting an airbrush.

Well... you said yourself you like the Columbian better, so just do the switch and be happy!

It's been very well taken care of over the years. Looks almost as new on the inside!

My first vintage box, Kennedy 1017. Oh man it's heavy! Not even Superman himself would like to haul this thing around all day. Even less so when it's filled with tools. But still, its a beauty!

Modified my Olfa NOL-1 by peeling off the rubber handle, making it a larger version of the SVR-1. I also brushed the finish, and filed down the plastic part and screw to make it more flush. Removed the ratchet spring, and replaced it with a standard spring around the threads.

Started work on the cast steel Bofors vise by grinding down all apprentice marks. Next i have to address the jaw crookedness, I will probably remove 0,5mm of material from each jaw. Then finally it will be ready for a round of glass blasting.
