Walters is pertty old by now - 1996 - but I find he is still good for relative
rarity. The #84 is listed at $5-25, the lowest set of numbers he uses, so it
must not be too rare.  Even the lowly 62 is higher.

If you mean giving dates for the various logos, Walter doesn’t have anything
besides saying that the business was called the Stanley Rule and Level company
until 1920 when the Sweethart logo cam in.  I looked in Phil Stanley;s   Boxwood
and Ivory  and he notes that the “USA” was added but does not give a dat. There
was a change in 1879 that probably menas yours is before that, so 1858-1879??
Very unsatisfying chapter 3, on page 31
