I've never seen one, so they can't be very common. Still, these were give-aways and thousands may be buried in the bottom of old tool boxes!

I would imagine they were made in the Canadian plant in London, ON. I can't imagine why production would need to have been in the USA...

Obviously, there may have been a large number of "General Hardware Distributors" over the decades - and a quick search for Toronto yields nothing - but if it was a business located in Toronto, it had to have been after March 1956 as that is when the "LE" exchange (LEnnox) (really called "Central Office Names") was introduced.

I've only ever seen Plomb, Proto, Proto LA, and P&C drivers like that... but then again... I'm in the southwestern US... so I don't know that many Canadian drivers would have migrated down.
