Title: B&O wrench
Post by: Northwoods on October 22, 2017, 09:25:25 AM

Picked up the stamped OE wrench marked B&O CO. I take it that it came from the Little Genius plow. The company sold to McCormick Deering in 1919.
Anyone know what B & O stands for and where it was located, etc?

Oops! Upon further examination, it is P & O, not B & O.
