Gay's Combination No. 1 Screwdriver.

While cleaning out shed I came across a bucket full of long ago estate sale tool buys. I gave this a second look thinking it was an old stanley. Nope its a Gay's out of Augusta Maine.

It doesn't appear that we have a dedicated "Gay" thread.

There is a "spiral / ratcheting" screwdriver thread.

There's a "show off your screwdrivers" thread.
