Going through my garage sale stash from last weekend, I came across this in the bottom of an old tool box. It is dressed in typical military drab green. It is an old style, but does not have markings that give me an easy way to know its date of manufacture. I assume most companies made military tools, so I am guessing this is one example. I would like to know what era, however.
It is either an old style, or just made "on the cheap" as it is a fairly crude, light tool. Similar to something I would expect to be in an on board repair kit for a military vehicle. Input is appreciated.

That was the first place I had checked. There is no mention (that I can find) of the ABCO markings, nor any mention of military applications.

There seem to be many more dings in the metal than in the paint...I think the OD is recentish.

APCO, not abco! This merger occurred in 1927. Beyond that, I cannot find other info.
