handle got a little burnt, took the tape off & photo
only marking is a diamond stamp with letters. see attached.

By the way, this is a great site, having lots of fun drooling over some tools.

thank you, should I replace the wood? or keep it original? anyone interested?
prefer someone in Honolulu HI. to view, handle, evaluate condition, etc. any suggestions?

still looking through my stash, lots of very old power tools, wood planes, hand drills, push drill/drivers, etc..

what is a "BUDD 34379' used for? 1 1/2" socket W/ 3/4"dr. ~20" long.

Budd is associated with wheels for large equipment and tractor trailers.
