B.G.I. aka Bridgeport Gun Implement, was a subsidiary of Union Metallic Cartridge. They catered to the shooting sportsman with top quality reloading and cleaning gear. They also sold golf clubs and bicycle accessories. I have been on a quest to acquire BGI tools and have been successful via the internet. I have unused BGI loading kits and cleaning gear in their original boxes. Someday I need to figure out a way to display all the items. Ideal shotshell tools are out there, but do not seem to be as common as B.G.I. or U.H. (Union Hardware) marked tools. 'Eureka' is a tradename on some tools sold by U.H. and B.G.I., but I don't know if U.H. acquired B.G.I. or vice versa. While it has become an obsession, it is still very rewarding! Cheers.
