So I went to an estate sale and I found some tools by the manufacturer Forest City. It says Made in the U.S.A. on them. I haven’t been about to find much info on the company. I buffed up a ball peen hammer head and the stamp was rubbed away. I was more careful with the others. Just wondering if anyone else has any of these?

Store brand for Forest City Auto Parts?
They were a chain in the 80s with a pencil-neck geek as their logo.

I worked a forest city auto parts for a couple years, I don't remember any "store" brand tools? I was there towards the end of their existence (late 80's) prior to being sold to track auto and going bust. Cool old tools, either way.

If that's a logo for Forest City Tools, then I've bought drill bits directly from them in the past, they are located in Hickory, North Carolina.

They were very pleasant to deal with in my experience. :)

ETA: It looks like they closed in 2012, they had been acquired by Whiteside Machine Co. in 2003.
