I would not call it a strange place but a rare site to see A Heller autobody hammer. If I was to guess it maybe from the Henry Ford School? I have most of the books but have not looked yet.

55 years ago, while on shore leave in Hong Kong, in a bar on Queens Qua, there was a bar-room brawl. In the ensuing battle of boozing bruisers, one of the pugulists had his shirt torn open. There, scrawled across his chest, in script, was the word: "FORD".

I have a replaceable point of a feather quill pen that has Ford script stamped into it. Actually I had two so gave one to another collector.

This is a cafeteria tray purported to have been used at the River Rouge plant probably in the 30's.

I have it on a drill chuck, 3/4" auger drill bit, padlock, and a 3" cutoff wheel. Also on some china from one of the lunchrooms.

Bringing this back around, how many different sizes of Ford script stamps were used (..more notably when used to stamp small items)? Exactly how were they made??

Has anyone heard of a 7 tooth steering box with the Ford script?
