    I bought 5 Howitzer ammo crates dating from 6/69 to 7/74. They were full of vintage tools and mice droppings. I found this scribe (pretty sure that’s its purpose for early wood cutters?) from info I’ve found here. In the same crates I found pliers of a few different styles that all seemed to be from Germany. That just seems odd to me.

      Congcu, Do you happen to know the maker and maybe age of the scriber?

      Yours has no markings that I can see. Will be very difficult to attribute to a particular source. These are still being made by various manufacturers.
