Let's show our wood (screwdrivers)

[d42jeep]

I found this unmarked little Perfect Handle screwdriver on Saturday. It has an Irwin look about it but who really knows?
Eventually it will be added to the screwdriver display.

Nice. What's the label on the screwdriver on the left side?

 

[d42jeep]

Barcalo. Only one I’ve ever seen.

I inherited this old screwdriver from my dad. I cleaned it up, but I could not help but notice the octagon shape is far different than a lot of the screwdrivers shown on this thread.

WOW! Impressive surviving label.

Not something I have seen before. Does it have any markings on it?

 

[CADjockey]

No markings at all. Which is partly why I never placed much value on it. I use it fairly regular. This past weekend even.

Ararat, NC? We are all but neighbors! I am in Mt Airy.

Yes, I've noticed a few members nearby. Also, a few from my hometown area. Small world.

The one is a Stanley and the other I could not find any markings

Found this postwar 11” Irwin Perfect Handle screwdriver in Nevada on Saturday. It needed some cleanup.

I have some like that. Could be a few different makers but usually if no markings on the handle or cap thing it's a stanley hurlwood with a really hard to see amd small marking on the shaft.

I saw this Phillips Perfect Handle screwdriver listed on eBay as an Irwin and since I had never seen a Phillips version I wanted to add it to my Perfect Handle collection. After a pretty thorough cleanup, I haven’t been able to see any indication of who the manufacturer was.
As received.
Cleaned up.

Found this unmarked turnscrew when I was cleaning out my dad's garage recently.

Having just spent a generous chunk of time looking through 19 pages of screwdrivers, I believe I've got a couple unique examples to contribute. I haven't had the chance to do any research into them yet, but I'm thinking the multi-bit one is pretty old. I really like the little tool for securing the bits. It took me longer than I'd like to admit before realizing it's purpose, after initially thinking it was just another bit. There's no markings on it at all.
The next one does have a stamp but the only thing I can make out is Sheffield. The brass cap let's you exert downward force and still be able to spin the driver. I should have taken a pic when the cap was pulled off, but there is a thin brass washer between the cap and the wood to assist spinning. And the last is a nice Champion

This one, and his brethren, may be found in this thread.

Hollow Handle (Wooden, also Steel) Combination Tool and Bits

I picked up this c. 1880's Fray's at the flea market today. Here is an excerpt from an 1886 Bonney catalog. These early combination or multi-tools aren't terribly rare or super valuable, but they don't often show up complete or near-complete or in very good condition in my experience...

ok, thanks! I now see there just might be one or twenty seven examples on that thread. I should have guessed there would a separate thread due to it being not strictly a screwdriver.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

And the last is a nice Champion

Sold by Winchester. The other tell is that interlocking lug-and-notch style ferrule. I don't know who made them for Winchester. @LesserSon may know. Nice find.

I am the caretaker of that thread and I can tell you there are only two examples of that model posted and I can point you directly to them. Post #49 on page 2 and Post #106 on page 3. The wrench to tighten the chuck is very unique. One of them is unmarked, the other is marked Germany, no branding. Please add yours to the thread. Very nice find.
