who made those Husky, polished chrome USA wrenches and the Wright wrench right above it that looks nothing like your typical Wright and alot like one another. the rest of the examples were for a more comprehensive discussion. really have always just liked these Husky polished chrome wrenches(Ive always found them to be long frame- always and they arent uncommon so iassume they come one way)
the wright, because it does not look like a Wright, nor does it look all that diff than the Husky (or certain Armstrong) and while the HUSKY name has been, whats the nice way of putting it... hmm.. anally sodomized by Home Depot, i am particularly fond of these to an extent

My guess would be Danaher, something like full polished Armstrongs, but possibly by Stanley, like Blackhawks. These were the "Professional" Husky line.

The wright wrench was made by wright. It's what their wrenches looked like a couple of versions before the wrightgrips.
The full polished Husky wrench was made by Stanley. Back in the day when those wrenches were sold by Home Depot, the Husky line was mostly rebadged Blackhawk tools.

Some Husky was made by New Britain, I believe. NB was excellent quality in their time. Like so many other domestic tool companies they got swallowed up and forgotten over time. You can find people with very specific knowledge over in the vintage forums if that interests you.

New britain was sold ish to Stanely (through a bankruptcy) who then sold the husky brand to homedepot in exchange for an exclusive contract
