Default Help with tool identification, please

Here is a picture of ust one tool that hubby picked up at an estate sale, although he doesn't do flamework, he recognizehem as needing a home..with me!! . They are extremely well made, high quality graphite and sturdy handles,....like the CGbead rollers tools only without the flame design on the handle. Some of them have never been used, a few have dual sided capability (i.e. assorted sizes each size) Am including a close up pic of the makers mark, I don't recognize it...anyone know who makes these? Help appreciated.

That's Chinese--which is all I know.

Thanks for that info.....sure like to know "who" sells them...and if it really is made in China? no wonder we're in trouble with Chineese products...this tool and its' mates are incredibly well mae......at first I was beginning to think that this was originally a cg product before they added the flame design to their handles...I have cg roller on my bench and mixing it in with these tools my hubby came home with....well, without the flame handle I'd have sworn they were the same product. You don't have an idea of where i can find out what the symbol actually says or stands for do you?

Devardi sells them,
I think they are using EDM scrap and a mill, shaper, or router to make them.

thanks Eileen, I too have a flat graphite marver in this tool bunch too, shaped and sloped like my brass stump marver.
These tools are heavy, I'm wanting all the info I can gather as I plan on selling them off...but no idea what to charge. I appreciate my husband snatching up these goodies and thinking of me, but don't plan on using them. I have the cg ribbed bicone roller and never use it....don't think I work it properly I guess..

EDM or electronic discharge machine uses electrical arc to shape metal.

They use a lot of graphite blocks that can be unusable due to wear, or being slightly off in shape.
Its fairly easy to machine with common tools so scrap can be made into tools for glass or metal casters with little cost.

That could simply be the brand of the screwdriver that makes the handle too.
'cause you know that's all it is, a screwdriver glued into the graphite.

I have 3 of those in different shapes I bought from Devardi when I first started, it seems to me they leave a film on the glass sometimes like it's not as good quality/ hard graphite.. It might be just me? They are definitely less expensive than the others I covet
I just recently bought a Speed Shaper, and I love it. I forget who makes it but I remember I saw a video on how to use it

Best tip I got from Donna was to treat it as if it were a curved marver. Before that I had trouble as well. Now? Wouldn't be w/o them; they save so much time.
