Gawd you people, was thinking maybe we are snobs and look down on the Bubbas of this world, and then went looking for something similar I came across yesterday and laughed at. 30 secs in, I bought this- In my defence it said "buy it now' and included postage for $27 AUD/$19 USD

Leaving the Record (1930ish) just the way it is, has repo original jaw covers on. Dawn (1966ish) is original paint, with original jaw covers it came with, just missing the original pipe jaw. Going to get another set of the repos, slightly too small for the Dawn (y'know cause British 4" are...

This ones easy, 1992, no date coding on tools, rare set, especially in this condition, arrived a few weeks ago with the marine kit, had to wait 5 years for a screwdriver set in good condition with a price I was comfortable with-didn't mind not having any as I wasn't prepared to pay the...

Had this a few years, 20 series polished spanners, the best of all the spanner types, lovely to use(My opinion of course-just works for me) 'O' 1994, has a couple of 'N" also which they did until the previous year tools ran out.

New to me, couldn't resist-it said 'Buy it now' and being a 1/4" in excellent condition- 'M' 1992

1982/3 no date codes-fairly common set

I only mentioned the 'H' as I knew it off the top of my head-have been looking for specific 'H' coded spanners/handles to correctly finish some 1987 World Series of Cricket promotional sets only sold for a short time commencing summer of 87 till sold out. Got off my **** and checked the codes...

I can't narrow it down exactly- Stamped from 1953- mid 60's

Not at all, (Dawn is still aussie owned and in operation) but being a fellow commonwealth country, thought that there may be some sharing/ copying designs going on- I know Dawn copied the Record 74 for example, and possibly Parkinsons/Wodens Quick release designs and others. also read something...

I wasn't disputing your date, was just trying to say the catalogue pics back up your dates in my clumsy way. Most catalogue pics are the same for X number of years an more than likely the same for the 54 catalogue on. Trying to understand the RAE is all- These 3 are the early 1917-early 30's...

I upgraded to a top of the line Dynabook Portege which has a unique security system, deleted anything windows/google related soon as I received it 10 months ago and installed Linux. Will go back thru and check thou- been absolutely brilliant - just works, had no update breakdowns or being locked...

A 1950 catalogue has the same pipe jaws and woodworkers pages, so you would be right on your dates ??

surely not- I turn all that AI **** off, better not have snuck back in.

They have metric sizes on the RAE stand 'Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and ceased in 1985. ' Would this be about right ? Was RAE still producing in the 70's ?

I need dates gentleman, these are a rabbit hole I've been meaning to explore, very close if not identical to early 1917-1932ish Dawn. So which came first ? Was waiting to buy and compare a RAE in person not on paper, but you've gone and jumped the gun- I have 4 of the early Dawn, and the rabbit...

Both Imps are original paint-good to very good condition, will post when I've finished my Imp copy - 1949/50 Rapier- had a bad 9 months and just getting back into the swing of things- got so much piled up now- but all good, have made me smile on arriving.:) Oh and always learning/trying new...

Thankyou, LOL, yes I have my eye out for a 75, never seen one thou, From what I can gather my 74 is a late 20's,early 30's having the bolt for the pipe jaw, the very early 1928 just had a Pat Pending, with no dates. Recently got a late 50's on small brother, not quite as well made as the...

The simple things are so good, A successful half hour, no hassles at all which is so unusual- removed the broken bolt, found some old style - 5/16 -18, bought some 1" and 2 " length, I can cut to size if required, as I also need one to fasten the anvil For those record 74 owners, am I correct...

, sending a deposit in a few days delivered in a few months, finger crossing has commenced. I think he said the base isn't original and the 7th shelf has a crack in it, LOL I didn't even haggle, just said I'm happy with everything, struggling on the phone with hearing and no transport, I'm just...

Sidalloy , could have been 60-70's, replaced by Daniel Forge (made in Japan, Singapore etc) as their budget line, I only have 2 examples, as the price was too good to pass up, but not a Rabbit hole I want to go down
