Can anyone ID this logo as well?

[Wrenchmensch]

I believe this nickel-plated 7 5/8" adjustable wrench is an old-time motorcycle wrench, with a tire removal tip.   Can anyone identify the logo clearly stamped at the top?

I can see clearly that there is a logo there, but that is about where the clarity ends. Any idea what it is supposed to be?

[Papaw]

Think it is one of the "Snail" logos?

[kxxr]

Could be, might be turned wrong side up or something. It looks more like the NBC peacock than anything. That's a tough one.

It's not this snail logo:

You guys gave it a good effort.  To me, the logo looks like a bunch of cherries, or lichee nuts, or longan, in which case the logo might be from the Far East.  Are we collectively out of our depth on this one; are we ready to chalk this one up as a beautifully finished orphan with an unknown logo?  Whaddya think?

[lbgradwell]

No other markings of any kind?

Although it's an "auto-wrench", I've never actually seen one quite like it and I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been IDed yet given that uniqueness...

[Branson]

I've seen that logo someplace before.  I just can't remember where.  Annoying!

Looks like part of a chrysanthemum flower, or a statue of Buddha.
Therefore Japanese. Maybe from one of their motorcycle manufacturers.

CCould it be a distorted version of this klogo (look at the small versions shown on tools further down on the page)...might be a reach...

 I think I see the llogo you mmight be referring to. Good page anyway. I love the original 'wireless' tools poster at the very bottom.

Buddha? Snail Brand logo? Distorted "Governor" symbol?  These are all well within the parameters of a working definition for the term SWAG.  As Pete Rathbone, Bus and other wrench worthies have wisely concluded, there are Orphans in the wrench world. This beautifully finished bicycle/motorcycle wrench is hereby accorded "Orphan" status for the nonce. 

It may turn out that this is a wrench for a rarely-exported motorcycle made somewhere, and some time ago, in the Far East, say China, North Korea, or Southeast Asia.  The stamped image is botanical not mechanical,

I have been researching the obscure logo on this wrench today. I can, under a magnifying glass, define a stylized "SB" in the lower part of the logo. If that is in fact the maker's intention, the wrench could have been made for something with tires produced by Scripps-Booth.  Does anyone have any tools from a Scripps-Booth auto tool kit?

Wow, I've looked for an hour... can't find that damn logo......  great, I'll be dreaming of finding it tonight!!!!!
cheers, bird

I found plenty on Scripps and the auto business, but nothing on that logo. They were responsible for some strange designs in autos.
