Herbrand 313 Van-Chrome Slotted Screwdriver Made in Canada

The Herbrand Company was founded in 1881 in Fremont, Ohio by Jacob Herbrand, Charles Thompson, and J.B. Van Doren. The company's early products included drop forgings for vehicle springs and suspension systems, and some of the company's products were based on patents by Jacob Herbrand. At least one Herbrand patent is known to have been assigned to the Herbrand Company. Charles Thompson was a native of Fremont who had previously worked in the hardware business, and he was later joined at Herbrand by his son Creighton Fuller (CF) Thompson. More info at
