I was gonna look for these when you first posted years ago, but didnt get tuit.

All I have are:

NDF-106 DBE 3/4 x 25/32 double groove style

and

NDF-112 DBE  15/16 x 1  raised panel style.

and by now you prolly dont need those, but holler if you do.

Well now Skip-skip, that raised bar 112 is one I do not have.  Those were in the pre-war catalog.   The ones with the double groove came about after the war up til about 53 or so.  Seems like most any of them over one inch in jaw size is scarce.  The short double box raised panel 404 and sizes up from there are missing too.  The double groove combo box/open were tough to find but now have them up to 1-1/4.   Never thought I'd see so many of these two types.

What is pretty interesting is for the time period, late 30s, the variety of types these were offered.  Combo open/box, combo open end, combo box in short and long.  Combo box offset in short and long,  plus the thin tappet wrench.  7 types in sizes 1/4 to 1-1/4, a pile of tools.
