Auburn Rubber Motorcycle

Nice little motorcycle toy with detailed rider about 4 inches long, made by Auburn Rubber. Modelled on a vertical twin, probably a British prototype.

 

Jordan pipe wrench

 Another "Stillson" or pipe wrench, this one by another name I've never seen, Jordan Tools of Germany. Not much info on the company online, but again, Germany as the COO would indicate prewar.

S Bishop gouge

 

As I was composing the previous post, I had a nagging feeling I had seen that Bishop name before, turns out I was partially correct, not George B. from Cincinnati, but rather Samuel Bishop of Sheffield, England. I had seen this chisel at Liberty Tool in Maine with S. Bishop stamp and Fleur-de-Lis symbol. 

From ukworkshop.co.uk; There was a Samuel Bishop working as an edge tool maker from 1828 to 1845. first on Carver Street in 1828, then at 10 Young Street from 1833 to 1837, and finally at 166 Young Street by 1845. This chisel could be from that era.

 Sheffield Records online also indicate there was a Samuel Bishop working as an edge tool maker in 1919. The "sons" of James & Sons were James and Samuel, with Samuel listed as edge tool maker and principal in the James Bishop & Sons firm 1911 to 1919.
