BN Inc stamped monkey wrench

[ddlenhar]

Picked up a monkey wrench with diamond logo with BN Inc stamped on it. Does anyone know what this means? I was hoping it might stand for Northern Pacific but have no idea...

When I read the title Burlington Northern (railroad) came to mind. Nowadays BNSF... I'm not sure.

Yeah, thats what i meant, Burlington Northern. I do know that wrenches stamped stamped NPR (Northern Pacific) are sought after around here.

I've never seen any railroad tool marked with Inc instead of RR or RY, but I'm not a collector. All the references I see to BN Inc being a railroad are from circa 1970 onward, not contemporaries to when monkey wrenches were big.
