Title: Little Bonney wrenches
Post by: winston427 on October 27, 2019, 11:00:27 PM

Picked up these two Bonney wrenches recently. One is an open end model 720 in 5/16 and 1/4, the other is an open end in 13/64 and 15/64.

Nice, the second one is the first Bonney ignition wrench I've seen.

According to http://alloy-artifacts.org/bonney-forge-tool-p4.html#zenel (http://alloy-artifacts.org/bonney-forge-tool-p4.html#zenel) -

" Zenel tools were given model numbers beginning with a "3" for quick identification, as these were sold at premium prices. The open-end wrenches were given a 3xxx series (3000 plus the industry-standard number), combination wrenches were the 31xx series, and tappet wrenches were in the 34xx series. (The miniature ignition wrenches were the exception; these were assigned models beginning with an "E" or "H".)
