Non Twist Screwdriver

I am trying to find out who made this 6 1/4" flat blade screwdriver.

Large diamond with  the letter H and NON TWIST USA inside.

This one has the name spelled out on the ferule which is what I thought it might be Harrold. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231940492188

There was a strong religious movement in the 60's who thought dancing was evil.

They really hated Chubby Checker

they carried these  as a secret ID, so others could recognize them at the Peppermint Lounge.

Yep Papaw i think so. There is just too much resemblance there.

Skip I must be tired. Your contribution almost went right over my head. At first I thought you were posting in the wrong thread.
When I was a kid if you didn't do the twist you were nothin brother.
