I have been wanting to make new boxes for my Stanley 45 and 55, and wanted logos for the boxes. Steven Newman had a label for his 45 that I think he mentioned came from the net. I looked and found some, but could not get them. My Son-in-Law, member Ben Reish, helped with this, and was able to down load the labels from the net.
It took a while, so we thought it might be good to put them on SMC so others could convenientely download and print them. This if they wanted to make boxes for vintage Stanley tools.
From my reading, the date I found for the merger of the Stanley Rule and Level Company with the Stanley Works was 1920. Thus the labels that read "The Stanley Rule and Level Company" were used up to and in at least part of 1920. After that, the Label that read "Stanley Tool," "Division of the Stanley Works," was used after that.
However a plane I have that was almost certainly made in 1921 used the older label, so as in other things, Stanley must have used up supplies from earlier production before production of new boxes and labels.

Ben and Stew
