    Default Sidchrome Spanners

    People
    Does anyone have any idea when (year) Siddons (Sidchrome) put "Made in Australia" on the back of their spanners or, on the sockets or anywhere else they put it?
    Regards

    None of these 50s made spanners seem to have 'Made in Australia' so presumably sometime later:

    It seems to vary, I have spanners, sockets etc from the 50's my father bought to the 80's and even later that I bought and there does not seem to be a pattern of when it was introduced, possibly when the dies needed replacement? I have combination spanners which were introduced as a later product range and they do not have it.
