While wandering around the local flea this morning I ran across a vendor that has had some decent stuff off and on. Today was a good day. Laying on his table in plain sight was a Perfect Handle winged screwdriver in very good condition. Not much rust and the scales were as tight as if they had just been put on. First one I have run across in the wild.
Does anyone know the significance of the 3 forged on the tip? I have also had them with a 5.

It is a size designation similar to #2 Phillips, but various makers used their own scale so they don't match maker to maker.

Does it have to do with the length or the tip width. If I remember(which can be a little problematic) the ones I've seen with a 5 were longer, but I was thinking the tips were about the same.
