saws and wrenches and many other tools as you will see in the above catalog #16. They marked thier tools with various combinations
and configurations of the maker name, city and state, sometimes with "Toolsmiths" added and also G P/Co in a shield outline.
This company was a successor to the Goodell Bros. company which was out of Shelburne Falls MA from 1888-1899 . They
acquired Stratton Bros. Coffin & Leighton Co. and Lavigne Micrometer Co. Althought they were acquired by millers Falls
in 1931, existing stocks of marked tools were sold for a few more years. The owner, William Pratt 1867-1946 was the son of
