Husky wrench - when was it made?

[nz44tool]

Hello, wrench-twisters - I just acquired this Husky open-end wrench, and can't find any info about it. It's model H1731, 13/16"-3/4". Is it old or recent?
I can't find an image of the particular Husky wrench style.
Any info is appreciated .
Thanks!

The line connecting H to the Y is curved on the H still but not the Y........that leads me to believe probably 50's era.

Thanks, PWC Repair - that's a detail I didn't know about.
Seems odd that there's not another image of this style, at least that I can find.
If you know of one, please send it my way.
Best regards.

This thread from the sticky might be a help

The Vintage New Britain and Associated Thread!

Hey guys, I've been learning a bit about New Britain and some of their associated companies or products made for other companies. I don't have alot - some sockets, ratchets, a few wrenches, but the quality and design! It seems to be very high quality, especially the chrome. Thought it would...

Thanks, RTM - a fascinating thread with insanely knowledgable contributors.
I didn't see anything there that specifically bears on my Husky wrench, but interesting nonetheless.

This is the 1957 catalog page, not much different through '70 https://archive.org/search?query=creator:"Husky+Tool+Division"

Many thanks, alinc100 - there's H1731, all right. So - made in the '50s or '60s, it seems.
I've seen a lot of Husky products over the years, so I'm kinda surprised I hadn't seen one of this particular style wrench. Also surprised that nobody seems to be selling one on eBay or anywhere else at the moment.
Anyway - thanks again for sending along the answer to my question!
Best regards.

Bringing up an older thread.

Do you have any idea how old this Husky wrench is?
I checked Alloy Artifacts but I do not see this style logo with the underline only going to the H.

Someone offered to give me about 4 or 5 of them. They are a combo open end box end.

The part number only shows up in the newest catalog (1999), so I'd say not very old

Thank you, I thought they were a little older. But I was fooled by the pebble finish and the made in USA.
I will pass on them even though they were free. I try to stay late 70's or earlier on my tool collecting.
