I'm saying circa 49 to 50 based on the upside down triangle.  No clue what's inside.

My guess is 1942-46 based on the Streamlined Tools mark on box and this is my guess for the contents.

1942 to 1947

No. 20 is an elbow calker

Check the weight, the tools were 5oz each, so I woud guess it would weigh between 3.75 lbs to 4 lbs.

Yours may be different from the 1/2" calker.  How long is the box?

The February 15th, 1942 pricelist shiws a list pruce of $1.00 each, and a net price of $0.55 each.

Pics coming

From the Plomb 1942 No, 19 catalog & the associated price list.

Nice find Jabber - not the most glorious tool, but with the box it really is something special.
