Another possibility that i have come across after going through K.L.Cope' book is an entry under Kentowski & Co., Chicago Ill. This enterprise was formed as a partnership between M.E. Kentowski, T.E. Winiarski and A.S. Lizak and was formed around 1920. "Products included a quick-adjusting pipe wrench, patented July 19, 1921, by A.S. Lizak". The drawing accompanying the text is similar to my photos above showing Advance Forging & Tool Wks on the handle, even the handle shape is very similar. Advance Forging and Tool works were also in Chicago. Ill. The patent for this wrench does not come up on DATAMP, however i have found it on the US Patent & Trademark site: Patent number 1,385,180 - July 19, 1921 by August S. Lizak. Cheers Danks
