Bluepoint wrenches
 
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,
