Hi Steve.
i got some of these.
they are still in their (hopefully original) box.
it seems there is no date on the paper, so i would guess late 60s.

What's the code on the Box?
It appears that if those are the original hooks.
it might be a early 1960's Magnum.

I've seen some floaters with the silver hooks (F18S and F18G). The same markings and box description applies. I guy I got them from was the original owner and said they were the original hooks but couldn't narrow it down any further than early 60s. There were no papers in the boxes to help the cause.

Looking at the use of copper wire, i would guess late 50s- 63, i think they put saltwater hooks on them and used them in the sea, then did the same with the countdown in 67 ,i have a few, the magnum came out first i think in 68, if your box has normark on then its later , as you know i collect the countdown and they came out about 1965 and the diving vains had changed then,  |
