247993 Richard Wilson <yorkshireman@y...> 2014‑05‑20 Re: stanley yankee 130a - now with pictures
Yankee 130A - Quick return, length 20@ open, with three bits, is listed at 40/9
(That's 40 shillings and nine pence, Paddy) in my Rycrofts catalogue of  1963

another 1000 pages of good stuff in there too


so - after '63, but make alowance for this being a trade price.
