A Few items from Tom's Stash
« on: November 22, 2013, 11:47:25 PM »
Not a great deal of stuff to brag about, but some interesting stuff.

3 small ignition wrenches with built in feeler gauge blades.  Likely for an auto kit or running board tool box??? One says "Eiseman" on it so it might be related to a Maytag motor.
The New Britain pickle fork was hardly used.
Anyone ever seen a Purox gas torch with the little "water valve" styled adjusters down by the hose connectors?
The Tomahawk DOE was a first for my collection
 And the KD hacksaw was pretty cool too(sorry If I've posted it in a prior thread)  They spelled it KAY  DEE back then.....

I think I have a set of the tomahawk wrenches. I forget who made them. I think I found something about them on alloy artifacts.

The font looks a lot like Blackhawk, but I think someone else did Tomahawk and that info was on AA.  Has anyone here started a tool brand name list and done it aphabetically?  I'm guessing we'd collectively hit 4 or 500 different names, both US and foreign.  We could start with the A's and do one a week......

Eiseman was a major maker of magneto's and ignition systems, so the eiseman wrench is probably not just for a maytag motor...

That Purox is very very old....going to speculate 30's...

Tomahawk was Walden-Worcester's wrench line (early Ford era)

Nice hacksaw, the handle looks pretty neat.

Tomahawk is listed in my 50's era Stevens-Walden catalog.
I still remember shopping in their store in Worcester, Mass. in the 60's
