#91-6 Dowidat adjustable wrench. Labelled with STANDARD MATERIAL . I get the feeling the Dowidat adjustable wrenches are not so readilly available.

On the topic of vintage wrench ID...K&W Tool Co I can find nothing on this, unless it is the same as K&W Tools?

Indestro ball peen hammer I think it is quite old.

Jumping on this thread because I want to know if the metal box I have has military roots. Please see the labelling in the photos : Boxes Metal Tools no.1 Ref no. 1A/87 makes me think of an index system that military might use. Under the rust and oil the box is olive green. The red heart...

Being selfish here and wanting to tap into your GEDORE knowledge. I acquired this set of Gedore wrenches, made in Brazil. A thing of beauty but I am not sure if its a complete set. Also what is the significance of the 1B? and any idea of age based on the numbers. I am guessing the 90 means 1990...

Trying to find the best thread to post this question, hope this is appropriate amongst the vintage collectors. Trying to figure out maker of these sockets, presumably vintage. I can't find a match anywhere in the google world for that styilized M . Any body recognize that mark?

Did you ever succeed at getting the radial arm saw in working order? I just picked the same model up at auction for $10. I think I face similar rust issues . Motor works, carriage slides but haven't checked anything else yet. Wish me luck.

Wondering if the C.T CO as on these wire cutters is the same as Cee Tee as shown above. Crescent Tools? Also labelled: MADE USA 282-6

Thanks Tym. Much appreciated.

I'm doubling up here because I posted this pruner under Vintage Pruning file just now, but don't know how to link to that . HK Porter no 124 P POINTCUT Pruner. Boston 43, MASS. Any ideas on age?

I would call these loppers myself, but they are labelled as a pruner 24 inches total length. . H.K Porter No.124 P Pointcut Pruner Made in U.S.A H.K .Porter Inc. Boston43, MASS. Is this the same HK Porter that made locomotives? Any hints on age of these woudl be appreciated. They are in great...

Wow interesting stuff. Thanks for all the responses. I have sent an email to CanForge...but chances of a response maybe not so great unless they are really in to the history of their own company.

I have no idea where I got this but noticed it in the garage this week, CANFORGE WELLAND ONT, is a forging company that still exists. They tend to do much larger forgings and I never thought of them as a tool maker. I am wondering if the tool was made for their own factory use?. I worked just...

I have this 24 inch. Made in Germany. The only other markings on it are 24N and Drop-Forged-Steel. I can't find a brand anywhere on it. Any clues? I have seen similar on line, some with German brand name, others look like they were sold as Craftsman?

Picked these up today in an auction lot. Kraeuter THE VICTOR pliers. Newark, N.J, U.S.A I believe about 1920s based on what I found on line.
