Does anyone recognize the maker of these wrenches?
I don't see a name or logo, they just say Forged Steel U.S.A.
The reverse side has the metric size.
ex. 1" says 25 m/m on reverse.

Ebay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/325306156451 suggests it may be Bridgeport Hy-Bar?
If he is right, there should be some here. If not finding Hy-Bar, look for metric or mm.

These look like gov't issues wrenches they used to use for military and govt/state agencies would use. Likely for machining equipment (like a Bridgeport, Cincinnati, or Monarch or the like) that was US Made. 30's-60's time frame.

Govt stuff wasn't always branded and just said USA made. Used to see it a lot during my university machine shop days. We'd buy machinery through state surplus.

Late to the party as usual, but here's a Hy Bar I just acquired that doesn't look like the ones in this discussion.
It has the dual metric/inch identity.
An appealing little wrench, IMO.
Thoughts?
