Vintage Tools Whose Name Starts with "V"?

[pcutt]

Help me to remember the name of a manufacturer of hand tools. My father gave me some old, vintage wrenches that are now stored away and are inaccessible. I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer, but it seems like it was a Czechoslovak name, beginning with a V and a consonant, something like "Vrabel" or "Vlasic." I believe they were made in USA. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Paul

I have read his book it is very interesting as it goes through the time of hand making tools until he was running a modern for its time factory in the US. Amazon still sells it.
