Alligator wrench Anyone recognize this makers symbol?

Hi all... I came across this alligator wrench with an interesting makers symbol. I am trying to find out the maker. Anyone recognize the trademark stamp? Symbol looks like a 4 with a scythe on top and reads TRADE MARK. Thanks

Maybe a maker with the name Forsyth?  Just aWAG.

Its made by the Forsyth Mfg. Co. of Buffalo NY. I think there was an ad in a back issue of the Missouri Valley Wrench Club Newsletter. Maybe Stan can find it?

Thanks for your help.....I was on the right track but couldn't figure out the spelling for Forsyth.

Might be Forsythe instead of Forsyth.

Anyone collect coat hangers or towel racks?

I had one of those one time, and Forscythe is what I thought it was.  It took me awhile to figure it out though.
