R & Co 44 wrench
« on: December 18, 2012, 07:15:59 PM »
 Sometimes you have to go by the shape. This wrench caught my eye in a box with 4 very rusty wrenchs at auction. Turns out its a R & CO 44 wrench that isn't all that common (at least in my experience) one other was a Cadillac wrench I didn't have.
 2000000 well spent (oops left out the decimal point)

Have you found out what a J & Co. wrench is for?   Did they build farm machinery too?

 I corrected the original post. It is indeed the Robinson & co of Richmond In. and it was in a box of wrenchs not a wrench of wrenchs.
I don't drink so I must blame the errors on some sort of wrench mania. My example is not in great condition bur I'll treasure it nonetheless.

 Robinson & Co. made threshers early on and produced parts for lawn mower makers Dille-McGuire and F & N.
