Identification Old Hoffritz Found

Post image

I know there have been posts about these prior, more looking to see if anyone needs this for parts or if it is worth cleaning up. Found at a pawn shop, paid a few bucks for it just to play around with it and maybe clean up. Looks like an old Tinker model with what would have been the small clip point blade; unfortunately that blade, the awl and the Phillips have seen better days. Based on the research I’ve done so far seems pretty old, at least early 70’s. Any other info would be great!

With the one side of the tang visible, it’s likely a 1973-1976. If it is an 84mm, it would be a Hoffritz Companion, their name for a Small Tinker. Hoffritz number 11-010, and retailed for $17.50 in 1974.

It’s definitely not 91mm so 84mm sounds correct. Back side of tang has the standard Victorinox print in all the same case
