There is one of these fencing tools in the King Herrington Collection I am cataloging for the Fall Auction. It was only marked with May 22, 190?. I couldn't read the last digit. By using a perpetual calendar I found that only in 1901 and 1906 did May 22 fall on patent issue Tuesdays
The G.L.F. marking refers to the "Grange League Federation", a New York State farmer's cooperative that was formed in the 1920's. Apparently they were a large enough concern that they could order a special run of tools, as the GLF model (bottom) differs slightly from the standard M&M version. (top)
