Craftsman "Yankee" screw driver

[tmcmellon]

I picked up this nice Craftsman "Yankee" screwdriver at a pawn shop today.
It is in near new condition. It is marked as made in West Germany. It is about 9.5" long. Any ideas on age?

That is in very nice condition. No idea on age. Likely HOPPE produced them for Craftsman. I have HOPPE Yankee screwdriver made in West Germany

Any ideas on age?

Roughly mid-1960s - mid 1970s.

I have 2 of them that my Dad bought probably in the 1960's.

My father had one in the early 70s

I think I have one of those too. I came with my dad's tools after he passed. I remember playing with it as a kid. The time frame sounds about right.
