Longlife Screwdriver, who made it?

I've had it,.... forever. I think I got it from my dad prior to an auction he had in the middle 80's, '84-'85. He told me to grab a cardboard box and go make me up some sets of tools, so I did. It's always the frist Phillips I grab in just about any situation.

On the shaft is says: PHIL, LIC. 29
and under that: ALLOY - #2

For years and years I thought it was a Craftsman, it wasn't until a couple years ago I looked at it more closely. The tip is better than any of my Craftsman screwdrivers, which is why I always reach for it first.

This will not help you out; it might even add more confusion but something in your post caught my eye:

Not able to send any pictures but I have two old screwdrivers that in part read;
Phillips-LIC.7 Made by power-kraft chrome Vanadium and

the same LIC.7 Made by crescent chrome vanadium

Sorry if I have not helped you out and only added more confusion.

Very closely resembles Craftsman. Then again, a lot do.

This definately says Lic. #2
