hi all i got this of john sum time a go so started to sort it out its made by B.C. Ames co. waltham. mass so its made in the USA in not that too bad of nick will cheet with the base as I'm in work tomorrow will flash it over with a surfis grinder will need a rod and a scribe making for it right pics
Look forward to seeing how this turns out.
B.C Ames Company is still alive here in Massachusetts. Tiny company with little to no growth potential, but still around. Try not to grind the name off as it could soon become a "rare collectible", and is already out of production. I've got a feeling there will be more tools like it in the not-too-distant future.

Looks good Bob. I was going to ask if it was the same Ames company that makes the dial indicators, but Ken beat me to it. They make very nice indicators.
