Makers mark?
« on: July 19, 2016, 07:11:31 PM »
I have a was curious if there is a good resource for identifying markings
I have an old pair of MASSEY HARRIS pliers virtually identical to this one with the screw driver on one of the legs etc, but this one seems to have a different maker mark.  I don't recognize this mark on the handle...any idea who made this one?

no it just has that weird logo in the second picture with a dot above and below. I was just hoping that somebody might recognize it.

Could it be Kanji? (Japanese writing) There are a few symbols that look like that, the names of which I don't know so I can't pull them all up... but here's one...
