I'm surprised when I find British tools here.
« on: November 10, 2017, 05:24:18 PM »
This is a thread gauge made by Thewlis and Co From Warrington, Lancashire

Thewlis made wrenches and other tools.

Sometimes known as Thewlis and Griffith

New brand to me.. anyone else have some?

Sock it to me...

Shades of the late Sixties ! Even Nixon once said - "Sock it to me !!"

In the close-fought election of 1968, the buttoned-down Richard Nixon unexpectedly popped-up on the sketch show Laugh-In, which was considered risqué for the time.

And demonstrated that he was, nevertheless and in spite of appearing on the show, as out of it as young people thought he was.
