Some of those are really cool looking. I like the Ocean City one - used to go there many years ago.

I know a punch can cost somewhere around 340.00 for a simple one like that triangle. Have to wonder why anyone would bother with something so nondescript?

Thought the same thing Earle. My guess is that it was a punch for some other use that someone decided to punch a cent with. Here's a great example...



This punch was used to punch the handle of some tool. I found the tool on ebay. Can't put my finger on neither the tool or the saved picture at the moment.

B.A.M.Co. spoon:

But no info as to what the company was.

B.A.M.Co. Mini screwdriver:

I have a side hobby of old hand tools, but am no expert. I have never heard of a B.A.M Co. toolmaker before.

Also found a "BAMCO" Bearing and Machine Handling Co:

Thanks for the research Earle. I wish I could find the tools in question. I thought I knew for sure where they were but alas. Nope.

Thanks E&V.
