"To-ga! To-ga! To-ga!"

Looking at this post two years later with fresh eyes, I think I answered my own question. Elsewhere in this thread it was determined that the "G" code on Powr-Kraft drivers indicated production by Great Neck. I think this Blackhawk driver is also Great Neck. The handle is identical to a Great...

I'm here! It's been a while since I logged on. When I buy new tools anymore, I try to keep the original packaging since it provides more information than just the tool does. The Irwin screwdrivers are cool, especially with the packaging.

Since I created this thread, I've done more research and I believe the Coast to Coast "Harvester" screwdrivers were made by Oxwall.

That font looks similar in style to a pair of newer Channellock oil filter pliers I have. My pliers have the blue grips, but there are no other markings. I would advise pulling up the Channellock website through the Wayback Machine. That's how I identified mine.

Lo and behold, I just pulled up the 1971 Oxwall catalog from the International Tool Catalog Library. On the first page is the "J" line deluxe quality screwdrivers, and the handle shape in the illustration is identical to this Mastercraft Coast to Coast driver.

I just picked up this Mastercraft Coast to Coast #1 Phillips screwdriver. This one is made in USA and the shaft has Phillips license #39. I cannot find anywhere who had license #39.

I guess before I posted, I should have looked through AA more. This appears to be a Vlchek-produced wrench, likely a rebranded W-series DOE.

I picked up this 13/16" x 7/8" DOE a couple weeks ago because I thought it was a Stevens Walden. After looking through threads here, I cannot find a Stevens Walden wrench that looks remotely close to this. The only markings are the sizes, "SW", "USA", and a "1" forged into the shank just below...

One of my recent finds is this plastic-handled wood chisel. The handle is identical to a couple of Stanley-branded chisels I have, except the Stanley ones are clear, and this one is dark blue. The markings on this one is the same as the clear Stanley chisels, but this is unmarked on the other...

I have this mystery ignition wrench, marked "No. 135" and "Made In U.S.A." The other side has no markings. The openings are 1/4" and 5/16", and since the center hole is square and not round, I will assume that it's designed for a tiny square head bolt or nut, and not for a bolt to hold it...

I picked up this 4731-A "Hexite" DOE a couple weeks ago. After looking at images of similar wrenches here, in catalogs, and on AA, I have yet to find one with markings just like this one. All the wrenches from the transition period in the '50's seem to have "Hexite" in the gap on the shank...

I wish this one had markings on it. It is in very good shape, and I can tell it's a very high quality screwdriver. The tip has a "cross-hatch" pattern grind on it, and the handle has every so slight fluting, which is more apparent by feel than by looks. The blade is 3/16" wide, and the shaft is...

Has anyone ever seen a Blackhawk nutdriver? I'm not sure what the "G" stands for, but the handle looks identical to a Powr-Kraft example further up the thread. I'm thinking it's Rosco or Stanley? Unfortunately the shaft is bent.

I came across this one a couple weeks ago. Obviously an Armstrong based on the logo, but no other markings other than the opening sizes. When I looked through old Armstrong catalogs, I found a triple-head wrench in the 1935 catalog, but it looks different than this. Anyone know more about this...
