Mystery tool

Any idea what the shield stamped on this ancient tool signifies?
Properly stamped in & it's a good quality tool. Not sure if it the mark of the owner or the manufacturer or a bike maker

No I don't recognise that shield.
Got a fair few of those multi tools myself

Would have been supplied with a new bike.
The shield is probably a simplified version of the makers mark. It would be a question of sorting through them and finding the one which approximates.

Reminds me somewhat of the head tube badge on my 1978 Viscount Aerospace.

May have varied over the years - the one on the tool has a straight top and no lettering.

Possibly a dumb question - but is there a reason that you need to know?

I think @a.twiddler might have hit the jackpot. He wins the CC Palm D'Or trophy with gold oak leaves and free unrestricted access to the CC app.

The same spanner came stamped Brooks, TDC plus a host of other brands. Kids used to nick them off the bikes we had in the shop. We had piles of spares free from Raleigh

None beyond innate curiosity and a thirst for knowledge

Decent bit of kit for freebies, unlike now. It's 3mm thick, heavily used, and still fit for purpose

I've still got my 1968 Raleigh multi spanner that gets occasional use to this day.

I've got at least a couple of those floating around in the garage somewhere. Damned if I can find them though...

Did you spot Mrs SD's walking boots by any chance?

No, fraid not... I think you might need to look in the Room of Requirement...

Don't suppose we've got a sculptor on the thread have we?
