Defiance by Stanley NO. 1233R

"The Stanley Tool Co. Defiance Farm and Home Tool Line brought quality Tools for a reasonable price to Farms across the Country".

I like that quote very much and it came from the following article...

Hope you enjoy the pictures of this vintage set; at present I am not able to find a date when it was made if anyone has any old Stanley Catalogs maybe we can find a date when they were sold by the Stanley Co.

I remember seeing one of those in my uncles shop. Sadly one of my cousins used it as a cold chisel and gouged the tip, and then must have proceeded to use it as a pry bar and snapped it at the shank. Needless to say my uncle wasn't very happy that day.

Wow your cousin would be on my naughty list also...He would be getting a bag of coal for X-Mas for sure.

It's not in John Walter's Stanley Tools big book but I would say
about 1950 to 1955.
