Not sure what manufacture did this tap handle. Has O.A.W stamped on the face of the handle. Has tapered handle like a Starrett, but a tap "holder" like a Craftsman. I am guessing a cheap overseas tap handle. Anyone know what O.A.W is for? I don't think it is the initials of a past owner, but I could be wrong. Found it at the flea market last month. It is a little over 12" closed and 12 1/2" opened all the way.

The marks appear to be owners marks to me. The brand name would be encircling one end where the handles enter the frame. It looks similar to a Greenfield that I have.

Good luck, I'm sure someone else will chime in.
