Send a picture, we'll add it to the post!
I recently found a 'spray gun' part no 17b manufactured by this company. It's basically a airbrush you run off a spare tire according to the box.
It seems that the car company wasn't too upset by a tool company sharing their name.
Just curious I found two saws that look like the frame of a gun just curious about this...Thanks Vicky
I have a GM MFG Co Inc tool that looks like a yankee screwdriver with a suction cup at the end. Have no idea as to what it is.
Can you send a picture to gerald@vanwyngaarden.ca? I'll post it. Thanks!
I have a 8 1/4 in. all steel ballpeen hammer with a loop handle. The handle is stamped G M Co MFG INC.
I just picked one of these up in a bulk lot of tools I bought. Pistol-grip all purpose saw. Mine has a (very used) Goodell Pratt keyhole blade in it.
