Introduction
McCalman Garde & Co (McCG&C).
Information is scarce about this company.
The company name became famous as the builder of the first five harvesters
for Hugh V Mckay.
I have found McCG&C listed in Melbourne S & M Directories from 1895 to 1897 - this would not be the full picture.
If any reader can provide additional information or images please make contact via the link below.

Not many McCG&C spanners are known - the Hammer Spanner shown below is the usual one seen and are not common.
