Steve G., if you wanted all the climbing mags, I paid $10 for them all. So would sell them for $10 plus whatever shipping is. Sound fair?
Here are the carabiners out of his estate. One of them is the Bedayn, and the other two are steel. Is the large one quite old? As it looks like it is. Also the last item is marked Fulton, I doubt it has to do with climbing, but could be some sort of rope clip. It was with the carabiners.

Your second link looks to be a dead match but no date so we are all still guessing. Unfortunately historical information is disappearing from manufacturer's websites that was there even ten years ago. When I am buying gear I always have to ask if the seller knows anything about the purchase date or prior ownership. Catalogs, magazine ads and fickle memory are about the best you can do.

It's interesting how similar your hammer is to one I have. The general shape of the head and the shaft match remarkably closely. Yet, yours is Stubai and made in Austria while mine is CAMP Interalp and made in Italy.

"Stubai" if you go to the place, is a big warehouse. They always have a booth at ISPO, the bi-annual international sports show in Munich and as mentioned above operate as a single brand with around 24 different shops contributing to the offering, the number of contributors or members has varied. Liberty Mountain in SLC and Climb High in Burlington Vermont are long time customers and distributors to the US market...
but...
They make some wild and bizarre stuff you have never seen in the US.
Stuff like bolts 2 cm in diameter.. stuff you assumed to be 75 years old in the alps, but they still have it..
Edit:
Climbing on
Camp Interlalp and Salewa were at that time one big co-op..
CAMP is in Italy but not far from Salewa and Stubai.. there was a lot of "sharing."
Even much of the diamond c product offering was made in Premana, by the Curtoni Family operating as CAMP.

Studly- Are you willing to part with the catalogs too depending on what they are? I am happy to have the magazines and will certainly cover the shipping cost. What are the independent crampon points that you were talking about?
Your big carabiner looks to be pre WW II and the other item is designed to temporarily link chain.

Yes, certainly. Gear catalogs are 1971 Cloud Cap Chalet and 1982 Int'l Mountain Equip.

So then it's a Stubai piton cleaning hammer from the 60's in an Estwing geology hammer leather case?
