The Scripps-Booth 20-foot long V-8 motorcycle was their strangest creation by far.  Outside of that, the only Scripps-Booth things I ever saw were Scripps-Booth inboard marine engines (conversions?) on old mahogany speedboats.

Yep! I saw the Scripps-Booth emblem yesterday, and it would be a stretch to interpret the strange hieroglyph stamped on my pretty wrench as a serious interpretation of that emblem.

So what is this wrench's provenance?  It is too well made to be just a "one off".

Nope, it's not a one off.  I *have* seen the logo before -- kinda hard to forget -- but I sure forgot who it was.
