Thanks for the date info. I knew CBS had bought Xacto sometime or the other in the early 70s, but did not have the exact year, nor the exact year when Hunt sold them off to Elmer.

I was noticing the addresses on the 84, 85, and 86 catalogs I’m currently scanning. Both the 84 and 85 catalog show the Van Dam street address in Long Island City, New York. The 86 catalog though shows the Statesville, NC address; the address associated with Hunt Manufacturing. So, looks like they maintained their old Van Dam street address for a handful of years after the Hunt Mfg acquisition.
