Whose B in a circle socket?

This one strikes me as odd. Looks Plombish.

Somebody went 12 point impacto with it.

BARCALO BUFFALO?

They never made sockets. According to AA, Bonney contract production.

Cool. Thanks for finding another example. As Don said, I don't believe Barcalo ever had drive tools. Where the seller got that info idk.

Contract production for whom? Aircraft? Tool kits? AA has that nice wrench example but no contract example. Hmmm. Coincidentally, the single end wrench I posted in the Bonney thread the other day is one of those wrenches, but with the Bonney name and part #.

Barcalo used B in a circle, but they never made drive tools. This is on an auto wrench.

I thought "B in a circle" was Billings

One of the wrenches with that B in a circle logo was IDed as a Model A Ford auto wrench so that would date it ‘28 to ‘31. Looks like Ford was buying them from Moore Drop Forging and Barcalo at the same time for Model A toolsets.

My Billings auto wrenches have a B in a triangle.
