Bog tools, any information?

[Kirbot]

I picked up this set the other day, and I think I'm going to try to fill in the empty spaces.

The extension is marked S48 Bog Mfg Co. Chicago

None of the other two tools are marked.

Does anybody know what all should be included in this set?

No, I don't know the contents, but I do have a few old Bog tools. I'll check through my old 1920's vintage tool/hardware catalogs, and see if I can find any Bog sets featured.

In my tool collecting experiences last year, I found several really old brands of sockets and drive tools from time to time, including Snap On, Ray, Hinsdale, Walden-Stevens-Worcester, Duro Chrome, and Bog. There were others, but those caught my attention and just plain LOOKED old to me. Very cool.

I'll also see which Bog brand tools I have at home, and post a photo.

Nice find!

Search alloy artifacts. I remember reading something about Bog there.

Cool, let me know what you find.

I've never gotten into tool "collecting" so much...I usually will only buy something if I think I will put it to use.

Bog might just be my downfall....

Yup, there is a section on Bog there, but I didn't see anything much like this set.

Bump

Anybody else heard of this brand?

 

[Kirbot]

One more bump...

Does anybody have any idea what all might have been included in this set?

I have a little bit of Bog. Found this a swap meet thought it was cool but thought it probably went to an old jack AR ratcheting straps it has 2 different size hex drives and is not marked. Imagine my surprise when I'm looking around alloy artifacts and find a pic of it in the Bog tools section
