Does anyone know anything about these, or who the manufacturer is/was?

The finish level is passable, but barely.

I thought about Hughes Tool, but don't know if that makes sense or not.

No clue, but they do resemble some of the imports I have found lately

Maybe issue at the Hughes Aircraft Plant??

They do look a lot like Asian imports I have owned.  Something about the lack of bulk, or medium polished finish..
