Athol Machine Co. Rapid Transit
Quick Adjust Nut
Wrench This is a great design
quick adjust wrench. The lite rust on the handle will clean.
Cute, quick and efficient. Good + . . . . . . $70.00 SOLD!
Planet
Junior H4 Cutout Wrench
Nice. No damage, and the 8" version w/ 2 hammer heads is one of the
harder to find variations . 8" Good . . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!
Small Pocket
/ Bicycle Wrench The name has worn
off of this small bicycle wrench, but it still works as it should.
Good . . . . . . $25.00 SOLD!!
Millers Falls #900
Buggy / Wagon Wrench / Brace This
Millers Falls combination buggy wrench / brace is a bit unusual. It might
also be referred to as a Rim Wrench for wagon wheel making. It
needs to be cleaned, but is in pretty good condition.
Good . . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!
Swivel
Head Crescent
Style Wrench There are a number of variations on the
theme of this wrench trying to improve on one of the most popular and
common forms of wrenches. You can pro=bably find a variation on
the Auto parts store counter or at Sears even today. Good.....$75.00 SOLD!
Unmarked
Small Buggy or Nut Wrench This wrench is in
very good overall condition. There is a little turned up edge at the straight
jaw but it is very minor. The square nut end is very nice as is the hardwood
handle. Cute, and hard to find.Excellent.....$125.00 SOLD!
Patent
Appl'd Alligator Wrench Latch it on
and go. Another one sure to tear up the work, but then that was probably not
the main consideration when the fellow put this one on the market. Increased
productivity and speed were the, and watch the knuckles bleed. It is 10" long
and has some minor rust from sitting, but is otherwise pretty nice.Excellent.....$150.00 SOLD!
Adjustable
Alligator
Style Wrench This wrench is in nice condition. An
interesting design applied to a horrible form. That is what makes
it a good one. . Excellent.....$125.00 SOLD!
The
Prince Combo Brace / Wrench These unusual wrenches were patented just about
100 years ago. This one saw little use during that time, and is in near
new condition and shows little if any evidence of abuse or even use. It is
one of the nicest condition examples of this hard to find combination tool that
I have ever had, or seen. It is time to upgrade!!Excellent.....$225.00 SOLD!
The
20th Century Combo Brace / Wrench Same
wrench as above w/ a different name. I guess the idea was step
into the 20th Century w/ a modern tool. The battery tool of its
time i suppose. Excellent.....$175.00 SOLD!
Patented Fence
Tool / Hammer
This unusual hammer / fence tool has about 5 different useful
features built into it. The overall condition is very nice.
.
Good+ . . . . . $35.00 SOLD!

Adjust Implement Wrench It is marked

Lets see how long it lasts. Opps less than a week. Good.....$65.00 SOLD!
Pollack's Patent Quick Adjust Wrench Hit
the lever, give the wrench a little flip, and the head shoots out, ready
to go.
Good + ....... $145.00 SOLD
Bay State Quick Adjust Nut Wrench
Patented June 7th 1904 It says
it is the Bay State on the head, with the patent info on the other side. The
best and most collectible wrenches are those that were designed and produced based
on a lousy idea or ones that worked poorly. This one fits the bill nicely
as there is no provision included to allow for the final adjustment that is
almost always needed when using a nut wrench to avoid slippage and the resulting
rounded nuts, and banged knuckles. Perhaps pipe wrenches could get away without
this provision, but you can bet that this design would have a tendency to round
off some of those tight ones, and also be near impossible to adjust in a tight area.
Seldom seen, and in nice operating condition now that it is clean. That was
another problem with this and many of the other quick adjust wrenches that were
introduced. All the superior engineering and machining would come to a sticky
grinding halt with just a few grains of dirt in the proper place. I have either
the 10" version, or a 12" and both are in similar nice condition.Excellent.....$75.00 SOLD!
Never-Slip
Combo-Wrench This combo wrench shows up
from time to time, but rarely in this condition or in its original box.Good + . . . . . $95.00 SOLD!
Coe's
Key Lock Adjustable Nut Wrench 36
This unusual nut wrench is a favorite with those
who like them big. They came in a range of sizes between 24" and
72" long with just a handful of those larger ones known. This example
is in very nice condition and shows little evidence of hard use. It was a
neat idea to be able to quickly adjust to the right size and then slam the wedge
into place before you did the final adjust. Holding one of these up while
you tried adjusting it an inch or so with just the screw would have been a
tiring experience I imagine. A hard to find and very graphic wrench!!Good + . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!
Patented 1888 Wrench / Combination Tool
It looks like this one was made for the leather industry, perhaps aimed at
saddle makers or upholstery workers. It has a number of different functions
including a leather punch, hammer, tack puller, pliers, wrench, screwdriver,
vice, and?. I think that about covers it. The patent info is readable and
overall it is pretty nice noting that the screw for the vice feature has a
stripped area where it slips. .
Good . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!
"Samson"
Calef"s March 6th 1883 Patent Quick Adjust Nut Wrench This
12" quick adjust wrench is a very nice example of a hard to find wrench.
The name and patent info are clear and readable. I apologize for the pic
quality. The wood handle is very nice. No cracks or other damage, and it
operates nicely. This wrench is #323 in Schulz's book on wrenches. .
Good +. . . . . . $145.00 SOLD!
Patented
Quick Adjust Nut
Wrench and Thread Bugger On the
left end is an adjustable wrench that changes sizes as you move the cast ring
along the body. On the right is a patented idea to bugger up the
treads so that the nut will never come off in case you could not tighten it
enough. Before the days of Loc-tite
I suppose. A neat looking wrench I have not had before.
Good + . . . . . . $145.00 SOLD!
Jones Universal Ratchet
Wrench I have never seen this wrench before and I could
not find it in Schultz's book on wrenches. I could not find the patent either. A
mystery to me. Similar to, but different from,
the Wizard wrench above. Different!!
Good . . . . . . $175.00 SOLD!
Indian Motorcycle Chain Break
It is original and nice. Much harder to find than the ones
marked Harley Davidson that you use to see and find quite often.
Good + . . . . . $75.00
Winchester
Double End Open End Wrench
This is a nice example with a strong stamp.
It is not all beat up as most are.
Good +. . . . . . $20.00 SOLD!
Jaguar 4" Crescent Style Wrench I remember when 4" crescents were 1.00 and nobody cared. Now folks routinely ask 20.00 and much more for any and all. They are fun to collect and I have heard that there are over 100 different versions out there for you to hunt after. This is one of the earlier and harder to find versions that I suppose was given out with your brand new car way back when.
Excellent.....$125.00 SOLD!
Whitman Quick Adjust Wrench This 5 3/4" antique quick adjust wrench hails from Denver Co. It opens to accept a whopping 1/2". The box says it is case hardened, and appears to have a blued finish to me. It is in its original box, and looks to have never seen use, just some minor box storage age. Different
Excellent.....$95.00 SOLD!
Double Head Twist Handle Nut / Pipe Wrench Twist handle wrenches are getting hard to find, but that is the typical ones. You will see 100 of the standard single head nut wrenches for every one of these. This is a rare and hard to fin version. A bit rusty, but after going through the secret process to clean it, it will look great.
Good.....$65.00 SOLD!
