The top is Bethlehem Spark Plug company with a Bonney forged stamp. The bottom one is confusing. Exactly the same Bonney patented design, but it appears to have a Herbrand forge mark and is also BSP branded. Might you folks have any insight on how Herbrand may have been producing Bonney patented designs in the 20s?? I have another branded straight Bonney and the obvious Bonney rats are date coded 1925 and 1924, and the Herbrand (at least I assume it's Herbrand) stamped one has no code.
I bought the socket set box with the Herbrand forge stamp for $10 as a complete Bethlehem Spark Plug box set and had always assumed it was a Bonney produced ratchet inside. While cleaning my shop yesterday, I found the set and noticed the forge mark.
Any insights from you folks would be appreciated!
