HAND TOOL PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
Pope Tools
Pope Products Limited
Founded in 1925 as Popes Sprinkler and Irrigation Company
The Pope Trade Mark appeared in 1944, on hand tools such as: hand drills, pliers, spanners & multigrips. Falcon planes were released in 1946. The name was changed from Falcon to Pope in the early 1950's and it is thought they ceased production around 1955-57. Plane numbers available nowadays suggest that there were many more Falcons made than Popes. The product range is as follows:
