Title: "New" Hy Bar Wrench
Post by: Northwoods on September 14, 2019, 07:44:05 PM
Found my first early style Bridgeport Hy Bar PAT. APLD. FOR wrench today.  It is the 3/8 x 7/16" or 9 x 11 mm size.

According to the 1939-1940? ad, this style of Hy Bar wrench (with no hyphen) was new.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/1939-40-PAPER-AD-Hy-Bar-Brisgeport-Wrench-Store-Display-Counter-Tray-Stand/152311737237?hash=item23767cab95:g:rk4AAOSwXeJYIy1T

Earlier than the more common style that AA claims to have been introduced in the 1959s.

I will not likely run across many more of these, and so will send it to anyone who needs it to help fill out a set.
