Make. It's got some glue or epoxy spilled on it

Anyone ever seen one of these? I think the little image is of a factory and smokestacks. Other side says Best Standard Make. Can anyone identify this manufacturer or age? Looks fairly old, 1920s-30s?

I found this at a flea market not long ago. It was too weird to pass up. Made in Japan. The fit and finish are actually quite nice. I haven't been able to find any information on it.

I can't seem to find any information on Newman tools. Anyone ever seen one of these?

I'm beginning to wonder if it was part of some fancy engraved firearm presentation.

Is anyone able to identify or have any information on this turn screw? I have never seen one so ornate. There's no manufacturer's marks anywhere. It's over a foot long. It appears to have been used very little.

Do anyone know of a source for replacement springs for adjustable wrenches? I've got a few Crescent, Diamond, and Utica that are missing their springs after someone took them apart to "restore" them.

This saw was made by Fred Wappat company. Probably the same as their A8 model.

Can anyone help me identify this 1/4" ratchet? It has no name or numbers on it. I got it in a lot of tools from an estate sale and was hoping to get a rebuild kit for it. It looks like maybe a Proto knockoff?

I'm interested. I collect vintage worm drives.
