well oll I know is that KING DICK is a manufacturer of old /and new tools. They
still exist today as I bought my withworth spanners from that brand in the UK.
(p.s. They also (re)manufacture these old tools for (*triumph*) owners as they
where coloured black. If you are in desperate need I will look into a cataloque
I have at home. (i'll be mailing you next week if you give me a reply)
