Well Lauver identified my hammer as a Streamline tool, Does anybody have any info on this co?

Just hints, Inc, in North Carolina, around the 1960's at least, made autobody tools...

I have a body file handle listed on Ebay right now that is marked St. Louis, MO.

They were in Conover,NC, they seem to be now part of S&H Industries...

Streamline Tools was established in St. Louis by Percy Henry and Clyde Sparkman probably in the early 1930s.  They moved the company back to the Henry home near Conover N.C. and involved other family members in this small venture.  During the war years (WWII) it was not very active, but right after began again actively selling its specialty tools for auto body repair.  Eventually the brand was sold to S&H.  Percy was my Uncle.

Just doing some searching on the history of Stream Line Tools and came across this post. I would like to Thank Bill Henry for the info about SLT especially the St. Louis connection! and Jabberwoki for the proper #105 for my board!

I've had this hammer for years and only recently cleaned it.
It's mark is so tiny I had a hard time reading it. About how old it?
