I was perfectly content not collecting what I consider modern brands of tools. Chrome is just chrome to me, I like the complexity of farm implement wrenches, and all the thousands of ways they cam up with to make a wrench.
And then it happened.
I bought a box because I saw what was on one side of a wrench. A Different silo company than what I am used to seeing. Got the box, took the wrench out into better light and it has BONNEY and a "K" on the other side.
Now I have two questions....
1) When did Bonney make wrenches like this style? As usual for anything I look for, Alloy artifacts was pretty much useless.
2) When was Saratoga Silo Co. actually up and running and has anybody heard of them? In this case Google proved about useless.
Update: It appears Saratoga Silo Mfg. Co. was going in 1920 as per a pamphlet on forestry in NY volume 16 and as early as 1913 according to another.
