Union Tool Co. identification |
Part of the difficulty in researching this company is that Union was a very popular name for tool manufacturers. In addition to other variations of the name, "Union Tool Company" was used by businesses in these cities and possibly more:
Augusta, Maine
Boston, Massachusetts
Goshen, Massachusetts
Torrances, California
Orange, Massachusetts
Providence, Rhode Island
Rochester, New York
St. Louis, Missouri
Union Tool Co. was also a brand name of American Fork and Hoe Co. So far as I can determine, none of these other companies made concrete tools.
Union Tool Co. No. 38 curb tool |
Union Tool Co. No. 29 narrow groover |
I grew up a couple of blocks from Union Forging in Union Endicott NY. This is the first I have seen these concrete tools and I did concrete work for a living. I'm not sure if the Union Forging works made these tools up to a point and then dropped them or if it was another company. I will have to visit the Village heritage center soon
