About 1915 to about 1930, one of several companies that manufactured
FORD SCRIPT tools for the FORD MOTOR COMPANY marked or embossed the
tools with S&R. The pliers were forged and marked FORD (script)
followed by S&R. The monkey wrenches were forged and marked with the
FORD script on the jaw and S&R PHILA. on the handle. I've also seen
forged monkey wrenches marked S&R without the FORD script. I don't
think S&R is Sears Roebuck. I thought they may have been affiliated
with R.F. Sedgley of Philadelphia, PA. or even Simmons Hardware?

Who is S&R? When did they start in business and when did they stop or
merge with another company?

Thanks for your help, toolguy445.
