Hey folks I began comparing a couple of Wengers today. They are basically the same model (Viking) but were most likely marketed under different names.  If any of you have more information on these please let me know.  As far as I can tell, the one with the Eagle hot stamp is older and may have been referred to as the Adirondack or Hunter. Both of these models come with T&T.

This combination of tools has been referred to as the Viking, Hunter, Adirondack, and later Classic 101 according to the Wiki.

Major differences in the Eagle-stamped model that I have observed include:
-Smaller Can Opener ('76ish)
-5 turn corkscrew ('75 ish)
-Eagle? Stamp???
-Spring recessed in back, go past scales, liner sticks out - like current Vic's
-Different shape to key ring nub/ one w/chain, one with ring.
