Anyone collect old tools? I picked up the antique vacuum gauge the other day. I'm not sure how old it is but the directions were typed. I'm guessing 1940s?

On Snap on metal tools the logo has changed over the years, my dealer can tell by these changes the era the tool was made, since I have my Dad's tools (he started wrenching in the 50's) I have quite a few real oldies, still use them.

I have seen a code on another forum. a quick search on Google gave this: Snap-On chart

Good luck
FYI www.collectiongsnapon.com has the 1940s catalogs and you can find the details on your gage there
Those screwdrivers are nice, but not that old....
They are the four-sided handle and are a brushed finish.
Earlier handles were smooth in that shape.
Previous to that style handle, they were three-sided, and smooth.
