Picked these up recently. Don’t know what year they are from… any guesses?

Those are nice!

look in the bottom corners, there may be a manufacturing code that includes the year, maybe even month/year. like 1385 could be 1985, 13, the week oy the year, 9213 1992, i think ya get my drift...

I've got a set of 5 of them, never really researched. They don't have any date codes on them, I got out the catalogs and they line up with Ruger's offerings in 1997. The ones I have are: Bolt-Action Rifles, Double-Action Revolvers, Rimfire Pistols, Centerfire Pistols and New Model Single-Action Revolvers.

Ugh, now I am on the hunt for more. . Anyone know how many variants were produced?

As far as I know there was only five, another one could show up and prove me wrong.

How about the two tone colored counter mats from the late 1950s. Black on one side and red on the other with the "correct" logo?
Brass Frame/Lee

Yes there are other counter mats, I believe there was only 5 to that series. Lee, the one you're talking about is in the pic below - the top two pics are of each side. Also a pic of another version of Double-Action Revolvers.
