Now here we have an old-timer.
It's a beautifully constructed tool, though a rudimentary squareness check shows it to be a tiny bit off. (God only knows what rough usage or accidents may have befallen it over the years.)
The blade very dimly reveals the Stanley 'Sweetheart' logo, like so.
I think that the 'S.W.' stands for 'Stanley Works', a corporate name from way back in Stanley's history.
What I ought to do here is get on with a little project that's long been on my mind -- devising a reliable, accurate squareness test apparatus from easily obtained materials. Then, I'd like to try truing this square; I'd be delighted to have it out on a toolboard and in actual use.
Meanwhile, I'll stash this square in my spare tools drawer.
