BMC - The Binghampton Manufacturing Corporation - 

On October 13, 1944, a small tool shop in Binghampton, NY, began producing lock wrenches.  In 1947 the shop decided to Manufacturer something a little more exciting, Toy Wheel Goods.  Thus the Binghampton Manufacturing Corporation also known as BMC and Bike & Motor Club.  In March of 1954 the president of BMC, Saul W. Botnick sold the company to AMF.
