Approximate Age
Likely production period: 1930s–1950s
Why:
• The foil “Echt Solingen” seal style is pre-1960
• Tool steel finish and stamp style are consistent with interwar to early post-WWII
• Leather construction and stitching match mid-20th-century German goods
• Wüsthof stopped making these multi-tool kits long before modern branding shifts
A tighter estimate would be late 1930s to early 1950s, with WWII-era production possible.
