The Palmer Brothers Company operated in Meadville, Pennsylvania and is currently known only for their "Welloct" brand of pliers of patented construction.
Currently we don't have a lot of information about this company. It was apparently founded as the Palmer Brothers Tool & Forging Company and was in operation before 1940, based on online references.
The company's main product were pliers based on patent

, issued to Robert W. Palmer and John P. Palmer in 1939.
By the late 1940s the company had changed its name to the Palmer Welloct Tools Corporation, based on the apparent success of the pliers.
