Bemis
& Call 1866 Patent Gas / Pipe Wrench
The patent was granted August 28 1866 to Amos Call. The number is 57621 The

Erdman & Phillips Patented May 1 1883 Combo Tool,
Wrench Hammer, etc.
There are dozens, if not hundreds of variations of different multi
tools from before the turn of the last century out there. One use to see them offered
for sale all the time. Not so much
anymore.Erdman & Phillips of Philadelphia PA were granted the patent No. 276,793 in 1883 for this unusual version. You can find it online. It has a number of different functions including a leather punch, hammer, tack puller, wire cutter, crimper, pliers, wrench, nut cracker, vise, screwdriver, and probably more. I am not sure who the target user was, leather worker, upholstery, electrical, or anyone that wanted the best all in one tool around. The vise makes it pretty unusual.
Good + . . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!!
Richards Mfg. Co. "Wizard" Ratcheting Wrench Joeseph Noyer of WA was granted two different patents for this
oddball design wrench. This is the earlier and far rarer / harder to find 1904 model patent # 777,389. It says
other patents were pending. The second patent was granted in 1907.An unusual design to tighten railroad track bolts. The wrench looks different from the patent drawing for the first model and was probably redesigned prior to production to make it more useful and appealing.Nice and damage free.
Good + . . . . . $200.00 SOLD!!
S
& T. Co. Wrench With 6 different
wrench sizes they sure packed a lot
into such a small wrench. And o top
it all off, one end has a hammer head of sorts. Overall very nice condition.Good + . . . . . $16.00 SOLD!!
Walworth
Manufacturing Co. Boston Quick Adjust Pipe Wrench
The name Walworth is usually associated with Stillson Patent pipe wrenches or
the chain pipe wrench they offered. I do not recall seeing this quick adjust pipe wrench
before, and could find little info on it online. It is a quick adjust, but just offhand looks like it could be prone to coming unadjusted pretty
quick as well.
Fine . . . . . . 45.00 SOLD!!
Combo Tool Claw Hammer -
Adjustable Buggy Nut Wrench This is an
odd-ball. It has great form, and good craftsmanship, but seems more
like a model or display of a craftsman's abilities than an actual tool even
though it clearly shows signs of use. Perhaps it was designee for one
specific application or type buggy and there was limited space to store it,
hence a claw hammer without any real handle or way to grip it. I can see how
one might use the hammer head as the handle when tightening the buggy nut.
There are no maker marks or names / dates. It looks like mid
19th century or a bit earlier. I will bet you do not have one in the
collection. Nice & Different!!
Good +. . . . . . $275.00 SOLD!!
Indian
Motorcycle Wrench Indian is
written in script on both sides of the cast handle.Works OK. Lower jaw is a bit
beat up, but it is still Nice!! Good . . . . . . $60.00 SOLD!!
6" Anderson
Turnmore
Adjustable Nut Wrench Patented 1906

off of this small bicycle wrench, but it still works as it should.
Good . . . . . .$30.00 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 . . . . . .$80.00 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. . . . .$70.00 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. . . . .$150.00 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. . . .$120.00 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 . . . . .$150.00 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 . . . . .$75.00 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 . . . . .$150.00 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
36" Key Lock Adjustable Nut Wrench
This unusual style 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 + . . . . .$250.00 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 . . . . .$60.00 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 +. . . . . .$150.00 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 + . . . . . .$150.00 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 . . . . . .$195.00 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.

Winchester
Double End Open End Wrench
This is a nice example with a strong stamp.
It is not all beat up as most are.
Baxter
Patent Double End
Wrench If memory serves they were
used with, or came with a certain steam engine. A neat design.
Keen Kutter Alligator
Wrench Nice!!
Patented
Wizard
Wrench by Richards The condition
is super. The finish is like a case hardened gun. It was
patented in 1907 and you can see ads for it on the internet from old
magazines with a search
on Google. An interesting wrench and another wacky idea.
Barr Patent
Fencing Tool / Patented November 13 1883 Combination Plier / Hammer / Cutter
This antique combination tool says patented on the one
side and the rest of the info is on the other. Pittsburg PA is
the location given. There is no date on the wrench just writing that says MFD by R. I ORR
& Co LTD. The patentee's name was Barr and the patent # is
288,397. This unusual tool / wrench is not in Schultz's book,
and I have not seen it before. Kind of a big clunky / heavy thing that was
designed for fencing according to the patent Early, interesting and different.
A rare piece.
"The
Masterpiece" Patented Combination Wrench w/ Pipe Cutter
This is in as nice condition as one could ask
for. There is info on both sides of the head. A good One!!
Reed Quick Adjust Pipe
Wrench
This is nice!!.
Power Grip Wrench Co. Shawnee Okla This is a nice
wrench. Been through there, but never had this one before. Looks
like it would get the job done..
Adjustable
Nut Wrench
Different & nice!!.
Early Cast Iron
Adjustable Nut Wrench
There is no writing that I could see, and it
is not in Schultz's book that I saw. An early and interesting
wrench with open cast handle!!
Hewett Patent Adjustable Nut
Wrench
This is nice and an early version that is seldom seen!!.
Peterson
1908 Patent "Rapid Transit" Quick Adjust Wrench
This unusual lever-lock quick-adjust wrench was patented on November
3, 1908 by Axel W. Peterson of San Francisco, California. It was manufactured
by the Peterson Rapid Wrench Company, San Francisco, California. The patent
# is 902830. Very few were made, or have
ever been found.
The condition is exceptional
and it shows almost no signs of use or wear. The maker info and patent
info are clearly stamped on both sides of the head. On the underside
of the main bar there is a
series of closely spaced cuts and after adjusting the head you would simply
tighten the head in place by turning the ball lock with the bar. A
rare & desirable wrench. Nice!!
Call
Patent 1866 Pipe Wrench by Bemis & Call This is a nice example with a strong August 1866
patent date stamp on the bar, and a weaker Bemis & Call stamp across the
head.
It is a rare and unusual variation. The August 1866 Patent by Call is for an
improvement in the lower jaw that this wrench does not exhibit. The style
does not match the patent drawings and it looks like an earlier design.
The adjusting sleeve does not match the drawing either, and looks like those
on Merrick or Briggs patent wrenches. A mystery that I imagine
somebody knows the answer to.
Sliding Quick Adjust Nut
Wrench
Super condition & nice!!
Crampton Brothers Sheffield / England Adjustable Nut Wrench There
is a logo on the side that is readable.
The
first commercially produced wrenches were made in England and this looks to
be one of
them Massive, early, graphic, and a neat wrench to boot. A good One!!
20th Century Combo
Wrench
What's here is nice enough!!
Quick Adjust Nut
Wrench
Marked Germany. This is nice!!.
Quixet Rapid Quick Adjust
Wrench
Super Condition. This is nice!!.
Self
Adjust Alligator Wrench
This is kind of different. The handle is marked Pat
Appld For. Nice condition, and it looks like it would work well, at
rounding off square nuts if not removing them.
Sheffy
Mfg. Co. Patented 1896 Quick Adjust Pipe Wrench
The maker name and patent info are stamped into the
handle. Chicago is given as the location. Different and nice condition.
Hammond
7" Quick Adjust
Pipe Wrench Nice action, nice
over cleaned condition. The 1900 patent date is on the handle as well
as the Boston location.
SpinTites
Wood Handle Nut Wrenches w/ Rack
The set on the left with wooden rack has a
different location than given on the cast iron rack on the right. Both
are nice.
Starrett
# 258 Plier / Wrench Starrett was
granted a patent for this design in 1911. Advertised as "The Starrett Extension Plier" A nice example of a
hard to find machinist tool.
Diamalloy
/ Duluth MN. Handyman DH-16 Combination
Crescent Wrench / Plier A concept lost in
time. Give them two tools and charge them for one. They have flipped
that idea for todays consumer. Really quite well made. Different & Nice!
Atomic
/ Glaskin Saddle Horn Fencing Tool Even
though this design fence tool was actually patented, twice, all known
examples say patent pending. As I remember, these unusual tools were
virtually unknown until a drum full turned up in a barn some time back.
There is a staple puller, hammer, slots to catch the wire so it could be
stretched, etc. While people say the large hole is to fit over a saddle horn,
I have read that it is for putting a pole through so one could get some
leverage when used to pull wire taught. Nice & Different!!
NOTE: This fence tool is being reproduced
Another note. i use to visit with a fellow who whiled away his
evenings in front of the TV "fixing" these so they looked better. He did
the same w/ those KK mini waffle irons, just sat there rubbing them with
sandpaper and files smoothing out the casting lines before putting them
up for sale.
Keen
Kutter & Elgin
Alligator Wrenches On top is a
Keen Kutter Alligator / Combo wrench that has patent info. Below is a
near mint adjustable Elgin. Overall very nice condition.
1875
Button Patent Multi Tool - Hammer / Wrench & More The patent for this unusual hammer / wrench
and combination tool was granted February 9, 1875. It is marked with
the patent info at the main joint. It was issued
to Alphonso Button of Saginaw, Michigan (patent #159561). According to the patent this do-it-all tool includes an open end wrench, a hammer, a claw nail puller, nippers,
tack holder, dish lifter, stove lid lifter, tack puller, cylindrical wrench, and a nut cracker!
Light rust that will clean. No damage.
Snap-On 2011C IT Ignition Tune Up Set
Mostly complete. The point adjusting toolhandle
(bottom right) has some issues. There is a screwdriver missing. The rest seems complete and in nice condition.
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!
