Description: |
| Known examples are seen with no markings or FURBISH & HAMLEN, AUGUSTA, ME. / M'F'R'S OF THE MAINE SCREWDRIVER
The Furbish name marked on this tool certainly refers to the patentee, I. M. Furbish (father of Z. T. Furbish), however two other ratchet screwdriver patents 315,137 & 307,187 were granted to Z. T. Furbish & Franklin L. Hamlen.
The Furbish & Hamlen partnership is not listed in DAT, but is reported to have been in business c. 1883-1884 by Cliff Fales. |
