Fordson Adjustable maker ID help needed

(1/1)

Fatboy:
10" I'm wondering who the maker is any help appreciated, LMS? Stamped Fordson with faint Ford script.

rusty:

All I can find is that L-M-S Motor Co, New York, was a ford distributor..
.(Inc 1912, to make engines, etc,has a engine patent, but by 1916  listed as Ford distributor)

Can't find any photo to check the logo tho....

Plausable they were buying and stamping wrenches to sell to fordson owners, I guess..

BRwrench:
I have a Fordson wrench that looks just like yours except that mine does not have any makers mark on it.  Maybe yours was stamped by a distributor, I don't really know.   I do know that I like the wrench, you don't find too many adjustable Fordson wrenches with the open handle.

Papaw:
The FORDSON mark looks like the mark on some tools made by Vlchek for Fordson, but I don't think Vlchek made adjustables. Seen on Alloy Artifacts- http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/vlchek-story.html

Also looks like Keystone-
 

Fatboy:
I'm thinking that I agree the lms is probably the distributor mark, that vlchek stamp does look the same.
