Craftsman wrenches marking on old =V=

[piri510]

Greetings ol' wise men(and women, just in case cancel culture can hear me) haha. Im new here and a novice in the tool collection/admiration community. My favored brand right now is Craftsman, but not the new Craftsman, nor the foreign Craftsman either. Has to be USA, and at least a single line V. Not V^. I have some =V= wrenches, they are darker grayish than the normal ones and some have brandings that I hope to find answers to. There F B and H W and a few more on the pictures I'll provide. Thanks in advance for any help. Look forward to growing in this community

Early V series 1945-46 (maybe as early as late 1944) they were zinc plated instead of chromed because of chrome rationing during WW2 and shortages afterward.
