1/4" circle h

[JjKk40]

This 1/4" breaker bar was in a box of craftsman =v= and Giller stuff. Is this a real Craftsman or maybe a knock off? Its hard to make out what exactly is on the small circle. The font is not clear. What do you guys think?

Probably made during the transition from New Britain supplied tools to Moore Drop Forge supplied tools. This set came to me as you see it. I see no reason to believe that this isn’t how Sears sold it.

Ok thank you d42jeep good to know. I was questioning it because it was the.only piece i had of that style, nothing g to compare it to.

Its the real deal, 1930s into mid-late 1940s. That is referredto as the circle H series made by New Britain.

Accompanying a Heritage logo, though, Ed, this "(H)" coded hinge handle was almost certainly produced in the very late 40s transition era, as Don alluded to.

The double line logo with Circle-H (= Craftsman =) was the last in the New Britain series of Craftsman tools, ca. 1948.
