Default How old is the Nickey sticker?

A few years ago my grandfather passed away. He was a child of the depression and while a big scrapper, he often came home from the junkyard with more than he went to drop off. While going through his things I found a couple of cool old little toolboxes.
The one I mainly use now is an old little Craftsman box I keep in whatever car I’m driving around. It has a bunch of little old stickers inside, and a Nickey sticker on the top.
I’ve been curious if anyone could tell me how old this sticker and toolbox might be?

I have a number or reproduction ones, but that certainly does look old.

No idea when decals first appeared but 03/65 Newspaper Ad below the earliest I could find w/ the NIC>|EY backwards K logo.
If only there was someone here w/ a Nickey connection we could ask…

There is no way to date them by looking at them once applied. They also used various vendors throughout the years.
