!954 Snap-on wrench with odd script

[glenmore]

There is discussion over this Snap-on wrench over at reddit and I made a mental note to myself that somebody here probably knows the story.

I have the same wrench with the same date code. I have no info on the logo but would also like to know.

That 4 looks closest to 1954, but that’s all I can offer.

This chart is more accurate for older dates codes

no one has figured it out. There were three made, and came in a pouch, 1954-1955. Not shown in any cats from that time. some collectors refer to them as the alien logo. From all the hoopla at that time period.
