Hi Lou,
I have run across a few of the wrenches. They were Barcalo’s first combination wrench offering. Due to the limited availability of catalogs, I have to assume that the earliest they could have been available would have been 1938 as there were no combos shown in the 1937 catalog and at the latest 1941 since the wartime metal restrictions would shortly be going into effect and Chrome Vanadium would be a thing of the past. I’ve never seen the set in a box.
