I have a couple of old tools with that triangle-B and never even wondered about it...

Thanks for the education Edgar and Russell.

I recently stumbled across the old Billings and Spencer forge when I was in town visiting Hartford Hospital. Good to know that this historic manufacturing facility has been saved and re-adapted for housing and a restaurant.

The Firebox is a favorite. Not the best part of town but safe enough.
Hartford Hospital and I are in a first name basis.

I hope its because the Spencers have a plaque on the wall and not because you spend too much time there.
