Atha markings, what does the 3 digit number mean? My guess is a catalog number?

I think that’s a fair assumption, but not all are three numbers, some are two number one letter, some three and one, at least in first catalog. A few to help you track it down

It’s right down to the wire. The 1912 catalog at the link above has numbers, and Davistown museum says Stanley bought them in 1913. Looks like they, Toolarchives, etc all reference back to the DAT, Directory of American Toolmakers, pre1900
