Obscure Bonney Tool - Tomahawk
« on: November 17, 2015, 06:38:11 AM »
Any of you folks ever heard of this tool made by Bonney.  Here's a link to the Trademark for Tomahawk, which is a combination "hammer, hatchet, pincers, wire-cutter, belt-punch, tack claw, screw-driver and wire-splicing clamp."

That Tomahawk logo was used on Bridgeport Tomahawk crate hammers. This picture is from Ebay. I have one packed away somewhere.

So do you know if Bonney ever produced any tool leveraging the above trademark?  I don't see it in any of my 'teens catalogs.

My  "database" notes one sale record for  a "BONNEY TOMAHAWK" combination tool with appearance similar to No. 802 in "Antique & Unusual Wrenches" by Schulzes.  A very poor photo appears on pg. 4 of the Sept. 1985 Missouri Valley Wrench Club Newsletter. 
I'm busy the fore part of this evening but later on will dig out the "master" & see if that is any clearer than the 3rd generation photocopy. 

later: image is BONNEY TOMAHAWK compared to RANCHMAN -- sorry don't have better pix.
