Craftsman

Post by Frank Murch »

This is something I knew existed, but I wanted to get my hands on them to take a look. I don’t think there is much written down, But some here http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifact ... ls-p3.html

This one is 9 ½ inches long, the link is 8 ½ inches (different). I think this guy just does an outstanding job. Well here is another, marked and sold by Craftsman (C-97), obviously made by Snap on. There is also a speeder with the signature hash pattern from Span on another Craftsman marked tool (C-92).

I know these were from the depression (1933-1935?) It appears the Craftman C series are all Snap on?? Appearently so.

I wonder If these tools were just carried around or if the snapon dealers had a brochure or Catalog for them. It would be interesting to find a craftsman catalog with a snap on name on it, or visca versca. any other proof of these accusations besides the knurling?
