Bog Mfg.Co. Anyone?

[gemnewt]

Hello Everyone
Does anyone here at The Garage Journal know of or collect hand tools made by Bog Mfg. Co. or have information other than what is found here? https://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/bog-mfg-chicago.html
I own a set of 1/2" sockets and this wrench shown here Fig. 32. Bog 5/8 Socket Wrench, ca. 1928-1933 and this shown here Fig. 21. Bog 1/2-Drive Speeder, ca. 1925. According to the article at the website mentioned above they were sold at the Western Auto Supply Stores in 1927-29. Does anyone have a vintage Western Auto Supply Store tool catalog from that period that might check for me? I keep an eye out over at eBay all the time, I know that's my best bet but being this is only my 2nd post I thought I would give you a try.

I know this is an ancient post but it seems like no one answered you so I've been wondering the same thing as I recently restored one that was my great grandfather's who died in 95 I've had this tool around forever and I finally decided to restore it

The OP might have got more response to his post if he had made it in the "Vintage Tool Discussion" rather than in the "General Tool Discussion" where there is a whole thread.

Give where I live, I thought the title appropriate. You don't particularly see it all that often, but Bog is an interesting maker. I'll start off with a "Dandy" Socket set, as well as the insert for another Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
