You guys may find the markings on one side of this Dunlap adjustable interesting. Apparently Sears bought German made tools right up to the beginning of WW2. In retrospect, probably not a great idea.

Don, does it say "Made in Germany" somewhere?

Yes. Close to the hanging hole on the Dunlap marked side.
