1. Relating to S-K tools, what does the S & K stand for?

Sherman-Klove, as mentioned, sounds about right. Not sure.


2. What do the initials for the tool company OTC stand for?

Owatonna Troll Co. :D


3. Blue point tools were registered by Snap on. Which year?

1923


4. Which tool company was founded first?

Barcalo, Cornwell, then Snap-On. Not sure where Wright fits in.


5. What does the WF stamped on a Craftsman tool stand for?

"Wright Field" is why old Plumb brand tools had "WF" stamped on them. I guess maybe that carried over? Never seen a Craftsman tool with that stamping or at least, never noticed it.

Well I've got 2 roll cabs and top boxes full of tools, peg boards covered in tolls and multiple cabnets and shelves full of tools.

I hate to say it but I guess you gotta call me sally and send me to the kitchen. I couldn't answer any of them. LOL
