Utica Lineman pliers in box

Post by phantomfixer » Thu Dec 30, 2021 12:34 pm

I had these on Ebay but no interest...
Uitica 1050 lineman pliers in the issue box...Utica spelled out on head in three diamond logog...no markings on the box that I see, but the rust stain of the cover matches up to the shape of the plier head (third pic)...
Period correct?
has Utica in the three diamonds on the inside of each handle...

If you are selling, need to put a price on it,

Not selling… curious if period correct.. the 3 diamond logo makes me think it is around that time frame

According to alloy artifacts (grain of salt) the 3 diamond logo went away prior to the war. I posted some pictures in a thread here somewhere. I'll see if I can track it down.

I had some Utica adjustable wrenches with the 3 diamond logo that turned out to be postwar. I was a bit disappointed. That doesn’t mean that most tools with the 3 diamond logo aren’t prewar or wartime, I think they probably are. I suggest taking a look at the ‘39 and ‘56 catalogs available here.

Thanks all, the 1939 catalog had the 1050 with black, smooth handle with the same head stamp....will go through a few post war catalogs too....

Here's a pair of UTICA needle nose with side cutters that I found. Has the bonus USA martial mark. I assume them to be wartime.

EDIT to add this relevant post that I found from Wingnutt HERE.
