Union Mfg. Co. and Ohio tool company also used the twisted metal for their lateral adjusters. Union used mahogany for their totes and knobs. I am not sure what hardware the others used, Stanley used 12-20 threads on their tote bolts and frog screws.
A picture would help if you can post one. The various frogs of the time are a little different between makers.
