My BARCALO BUFFALO  parrot's logo is designed so that the B's and the O's on both words are aligned, one over the other.  And the USA letters are stacked, just after the O's
Have 3 parallel grooves across the handles, just above crosshatched grips, followed by 3 more parallel lines.  And the handle tips are of the same length and outswept at the ends.
7 1/4" in length.
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

Every time I see these I think "Great back scratcher!".
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....
