Likely in the first few years of production.  Useful websites (not sure if they're current):

http://junkyardtools.com/tool_history/wilton

I've got one of those, a No. 3, with no date, that I figure is worth a million dollars to the right collector.  I just need to find him/her.

Hello, Bill. Thanks for the reply!! If you find him/her, convince either one, or both, that they need a No. 4 to go with yours!!

I have one like it that has the patent number 1. I looked up the pat. number and it is assigned to a Mr. F. Flintstone.
