The Eaton Stamping Division of Eaton Yale & Towne, Inc. was a
single plant division with its plant and headquarters in Cleveland.
The Division was formed as a successor to the Easy-On Cap. Co. whose
assets were acquired by Eaton in the early 1930's.

Well since J.O Eaton was a pioneer in the automotive parts and equipment and based on what I have read about his early acquisitions of other companies It would be my guess this would be an automotive or equipment part. What do you think Don?
