I've been going through my Dad's old tools, and came across a set of
comination wrenches with the brand "Bluepoint" forged in raised
letters. I'm guessing they'd be 1930's-1940's vintage, although
there's a chance they were his fathers', 1900-1920 vintage.

Anybody know anything about these?

Thanks a heap,

"Zz Yzx" rhymes with "physics"; or " Isaacs" if you prefer.

"Blue Point" is basically Snap-On's "value" line. I'm not sure if they
were associated with Snap-On in the time frame that you mention or if
they were a separate company back then.

here's a link that might help you (no association)
