Who made the GS wrenches with the hexagon logo?

Have a 8" adjustable wrench with 9/16 boxed end.

Yes, the broach is the reason for my guess, Todd. All things being equal, I'd still consider J.P. Danielson to be the more likely maker given their volume.
I believe I've encountered another brand with a broach too...
A photo will help, of course!

Still wish he'd post a pic. Here's a link to my Lakeside adjustable. I don't think it looks anything like JPD but I encourage other assessments!

I'm going to say Diamond made this one. from alloy artifacts

"Industrial Distributors and Retail Stores

Diamond tools were carried by a number of industrial distributors and by some large retailers, including Western Auto Supply and the Gamble Stores chain.
•
Gamble's Auto Supply 1940. The 1940 Gamble's Auto Supply & Tool catalog offered adjustable wrenches under the Gamble's and Tiger brands, with both types recognizable as Diamond production. The Gamble's brand wrenches noted the use of drop forged steel with a black finish, and the Tiger brand wrenches featured chrome alloy steel with a triple-plated chrome finish. Both models were illustrated with hexagonal gullets and double-hex broached hanging holes. Wrenches were available in sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, and 24 inches, with the 24 inch size only in the alloy steel (Tiger) model. This is currently our only catalog reference showing broached hanging holes for Diamond wrenches."
