This "Shaw" DOE is going in my collection, but I see multiple "Shaw" companies listed in the index here on GJ. I Googled "Joseph Shaw Co., Toledo, OH wrench" and in Google Images, I got an eBay listing for a wrench identical to mine. The seller seems to think it's Joseph Shaw, but I have no proof. There is virtually no information out there. Can anyone enlighten me?20230205_200425.jpg20230205_200435.jpg

^ It's definitely not Shaw Enterprises in LaPeer, Michigan (they made a completely different product that did not involve forging) and I think it would be reasonable to eliminate Shaw Propeller - the only thing they're noted as having made was an "alligator" type wrench.

There are/were a lot of tool makers about whom we know virtually nothing - hence the constant search.
