I picked up some Jennings bits recently - pretty decent shape, but they need sharpening.
The thing I'm curious about is some of them are marked Russell Jennings - the name is stamped parallel to the length of bit on the shaft. One is marked Russell Jennings Made in USA in a kind of stamped box perpendicular to the shaft.
A couple are marked something like
Russell Jennings
100
Stanley 100 years
in a kind of stamped box perpendicular to the shaft. I'll try to take pics once my wife brings the camera home.
I assume the stamps are just indicative of different years they were made, but was just wondering if anyone could offer any insight.
