Is another Mans Treasure. I wonder if I can bring this old boy back to life! Imagine...A dollar and seventy five cents. Notice the clothes pin!I'd like to research the manufacturer, although I'm fairly sure that it is Fulton.
Fulton was the "house brand" for the United Hardware and Tool Manufacturing Company, a hardware wholesaler, but is probably best known as an early tool brand sold by Sears Roebuck. In the pre-Craftsman days, Fulton appeared to be the most popular tool brand offered by Sears, and even after Craftsman had become well established, Sears continued to carry Fulton tools as lower-cost alternatives.
Fulton tools were likely made for United Hardware by a contract manufacturer, and the great similarity between some Fulton and Craftsman tools suggests that the same manufacturer later produced tools for Sears.
