Re: [CR]nobody knows - dating campagnolo tools

Thank so far to everyone who answered. It looks as if my tools were "old" :) I will add some pictures the next days (my camera is lost), to get some informations concerning the date.

Max,

Do you have the entire tool case? If so, the older (early 70's and older b oxes themselves are made entirely of wood. There is no plastic insert with all of the tool compartments cast into it. The compartments were all made of blocks of wood glued to the inside of the box bottom. I have noticed t hat the background pattern where the lettering "Campagnolo" appears was a "crosshatch" pattern of lines; whereas the newer version has a "dimpled" t ype of background. The older "H" tools will not have the 3rd spacer that a llows one to check rear dropout spacing of 126.5 mm AND 120mm spacing.

A few photos would help. It sounds like you may have some even older tools that the ones from the early 70's that I'm somewhat familier with.
