Initial production took place in Kansas. After the company failed, later production was imported from Japan. Those are marked QUALI-KRAFT, with this patent number and "Made In Japan."
The side plate feature giving access to the adjusting mechanism reappears in modified form in a wrench produced under design patent D524,126.
