Eagle stanley try square

[excelsisba]

Picked up this eagle stanley try square the other day. I knew eagle was older so figured I'd grab it, it was cheap enough. Anyhow any info on these? Can't find anything with the Eagle logo and stanley on it. I've seen some 46-208 Stanly squares but no eagles. I'm assuming this would probably be dated around the merging/aquiring of 1916? Any info would be appreciated. I just like learning the history of things.

Funny enough I just finished reading that like 10 mins ago. Thanks!
Ever seen the eagle logo with stanley at the bottom?

just bumping to see if anyone else has some other info on this.

I realize Stanley bought them im 1916, just wondering how long stanley kept the eagle logo running?

That looks like a 1990's Stanley Contractor Grade try square. I bought just like yours in the 1990's. Stanley probably just dusted of the Eagle trademark.

2nding this, just judging by the font on the numbers, the part number and that it says USA on it.

Well I guess you win some loose some.
Only paid $10 for it so i'm not too disappointed.
I don't mind taking a chance on something for $10.

It's well worth what you paid.

Well there's definitely a clue I missed when thinking about the age! Can you guys spot it?

I only paid $1 for mine, but still, the Phillips screws were a giveaway.
And the wood is def not high high quality.
Triangle escutcheon.
Sheesh.
