Ron,
Your post brought to mind someting that occurred to me while cleaning up some of my late father's hand tools. No where do you tell us where Buffalo is. I was wire brushing some of dad's wrenches which were quite rusty. I was suprised to see how well the steel cleaned up. A few of them bore the inscription "Boughton Buffalo USA." It made me realize how much has been lost in the name of globalization. Buffalo, once such a great industrial city, that the maker didn't feel it necessary to mention the state it was located in. Just Buffalo USA. The pile of rusty wrenches read like a sad history of the rust belt . . . Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Well, they're all nice and shiney again and I will hold them in greater esteem for the past and quality they represent.
