I am not sure what they call the Diagnostic tool that a mechanic uses; but I call it a Diagnostic tree. To make a long story short this story reminds me of that tree; if the battery works follow the next branch, if it does not work follow the other branch, etc.
Just when I think I have a branch in my hands, something else crops up which leads me to another branch of that tree and the confusion starts all over again.
I can tell you what I found out so far, The Company in question Rinck-Mcilwaine Inc. started on April the 27th, 1929 at 16 Hudson Street in New York City N.Y. (interesting thing the stock market crashed only 6 months later).
Their trademark was the Rimac brand of automotive tools.
Ok good so far, now as to the founder of the company I am a little hazy on but I do have a name of George W. Mcilwaine, information must be very hard because my better half (GJ member bczygan) must not have found anything on this man in question, so far.
If he is the founder of the company in question and he is still alive then he must be a vampire, I am thinking he must have been born in at least 1900, making him at the very least 29 years old in 1929.
Could this be his son in question; Something that I do not know at this time?
Now the tree gets confusing (or lack of information), because one link reads Inactive-Dissolution by proclamation company age 88 years, 10 months. ok so I am thinking it shut down, 1929 plus 88= 2017 but not sure?
Then another link reads Dates expired Wed. Jan. 25th, 2012 so now I am thinking ok what gives with all the dates in question is this still an on going company ?
Now comes the fun part, it starts to list Boontown NJ., then Manlius N.Y., next Dumont, N.J., then Canastota NY. and the branches of the tree start looking like one big puzzle.
Information is coming forwards on pictures of vintage Rimac tap & die sets, a patent for their company in 1930, and a few products that they made for the automotive market, but that is all I could find not much about the company itself.
I will show a few links in part two along with a few pictures, as I learn more I will update the story for you.
