Cool looking! no idea who made it but would it not be from the same time frame of the Mossberg was making sockets. The steel stamping is what I see as similar, then they faded and forged steel was the norm.

Double cool if they had made them as convertibles. So one wrench could move to both positions!

They were made in at least 2 different sizes as I had them.
