Found this on my travels! Never saw Canadian forge before! Has a little anvil with a maple leaf stamped on it, and Canada stamped on other side! Question, where in Canada was this made?

I don't know where it was made, but Canadian Forge was (is?) a trademark of Caplan Industries who are better known for another of their trademarks...

Task Tools

Caplan Industries is currently based in Delta, BC, but originated in Richmond. I have never heard of forge operations in BC, but it's possible. But I think it's more likely there were made in Ontario by contract...

I know I am reviving an old thread but I recently bought a Canadian Forge 13/16" combination wrench with that same anvil/maple leaf symbol marked 7526. Anyone else have any of these wrenches?

Offhand something is telling me Canadian Forge made their tools in Welland, ON. I seem to recall a Wellander telling me that. I know for certain there is a "CanForge" located in Welland, though they didn't make tools there in many years. http://www.canforge.com/

Kind of o/t but ETF was made in nearby St Catharines. I love those wrenches, I had the opportunity to buy a near complete set of combos, but they were included in a tool box (that was priced too high) so I had to pass on them.
