Just another alligator wrench, but I don't recognize the logo.

I had not seen that logo before but it turns out to be Verona Tool Works (later Woodings-Verona) and if you look at the logo the right way you can see all of that contained within that one symbol. They were proud of their logo and devote an entire page in their (gorgeously printed) catalog(s) to it:

Forgot to mention page 50 shows the alligator wrench, Cat. No. 118, available in sizes 2,3,4 & 5.
those ARE beautiful drawings.
I was trying to make sense of it upside down and sideways... Alloy Artifacts didn't have it on file either... That catalog is stunning.
I've bookmarked the Exploringaxehistory site. Thanks Dave.
Google images teased me with this ebay picture that lead nowhere, but I at least knew there was another one out there:

I eventually found the mark here on this list (bottom of group 2):

Of course I was searching on it completely wrong ("Y with a roof") but somehow got there.
