Stanley bits and some lesser known
« on: December 13, 2014, 07:49:08 PM »
 Purchased these Stanley H1227 bits at auction. The gap denotes the missing 7/16 bit to complete the set. Along with them came a (New Haven Copper Co) bit that was a new company to me. Interesting history on past of Seymour,Ct. Also a couple of Bruno Tools expansion bits from Beverly Hills Ca. I thought that was where all the movie stars lived. I got a Stanley expansion bit and a Greenlee No22 with them but they didn't make the photo shoot. Anyone familiar with New Haven Copper Co bits ?

I have a Bruno tools bit, too.  Beverly Hills had a decent industrial base at one time, now overtaken by glitz.  I have, over the years, owned at least two tools from companies - including Bruno - based in Beverly Hills.

In fact, at one time, the L.A. basin in general had a lot of manufacturing.  I'm a Northern Californian, don't get down there much, but I believe there's still manufacturing going on there, but not at the same level.
