Mac wood handle drivers

[HeelSpur]

Anyone know when these were made?
Been sitting in my cabinet for many years.
They have the white lettering on the handles and
from what I have read they are not vintage.

Are there any zip codes or UPC symbols on the box? The 5 digit zip code started in about 1963 and the UPC was in I think 1972 or so. That would help date the screwdrivers. I'd hazard a guess of the 1960s though.

Absolutely nothing else on the box.
One of the screwdrivers had a Pat.#, 2507231

but I believe this is just an improvement for strength not a date for these drivers.

Those definitely look very vintage. I'd use them or sell them If you already have enough screwdrivers.

I think have seen this same type of screwdriver from Stanley.

They are definitely older, although how old, I have no idea. I inherited some of those from my grandpa. I never knew they were macs, learn something new everyday.

My Grandpa has a set like that. I'll see if I can find it and put it up one here.

Had a set before, they were nice, I'm thinking Grace too. I sold them but didn't get much for them.

I think those were made up until the 80's. I find lots of them when I got to the flea markets for $1 each. Needless to say I have quite a bunch of them.

I have a few of these from my grandfather, never knew what they were.

They can be hard to id since "MAC" is not stamped very big on them. I only have one and it looks like is has been beat to heck but it lives an easy life in my tool box. I don't think I have ever used it. I just keep it for sentimental reasons.
