I picked up Plumb 7/8" x 13/16" double box wrench , a Blue Grass #34 1 1/16" combo wrench  , and a Williams # 2725B obstruction Wrench at garage sale today. I had thought someone here was looking for Blue Grass stuff.The Plumb is stamped "68" on both ends.

What opening sizes are on the Williams obstruction wrench? I could use one with 1/2" and  9/16".

The Plomb wrenches have a color similar to AMPCO's BeCu wrenches. Are the Plomb wrenches also beryllium copper wrenches?

That I'm not sure of. It's marked 13/16  MFD. 1140 U.S.A. 7/8. It looks like someone stamped it 89 on both ends.
