I think it is a "set screw" wrench. Today we think most often of set screws as below the surface with usually a hex socket for an allen wrench. In days of yore, set screws often protruded above the surface and had a square head. A lathe tool post is an example.

Starrett head. Rule could be different. Some makers are interchangable.

That location is not the usual place to advertise the maker. Pretty sure it is a die indentification.

Saw Set. Geez you guys.

Possibly a dentist office or possibly a watchmaker. Given the description, lots of possibilities

Is that simply a die identification? Can't see it in the picture.

where is the L triangle located? I don't see it in the overall picture.

As discussed previously, you have examples from two different stamping dies and corresponding different text stamping detail. (The one in the middle was actually stamped upside down from the view shown) Two different suppliers for one agent or two competing companies?? Intended application...

Thanks. I never noticed that. (And I am a believer in studying the catalog!!!)

The locking nut looks wrong.

Are they marked?

For some lathe with compound nuts and tool post rocker dimensions to fit.

Those are excellent quality. Keep it.

You might investigate lacquer stik. Available in variety of colors.

I might guess that is for burrs, end mills, or, as suggested, dremel bits. Think 3/8 shank, 1/4 shank, 3/16 shank, and 1/8 shank tools.

I believe that the earliest Starrett square sets used a thinner blade, similar in thickness to the Bates example.

Looks like it could be a recent Starrett.

We know your type. You ripped the tag off of your mattress didn't you?!

Me too. Lots of BeCu over the years. Used to clean mold parts in a big tank of carbon tetrachloride. I'm 80 now. I might have missed it all. But, all in all, the trade was very good to me. Have a good one.
