Title: H.A. Thompsons Patented Buggy Wheel Wrenchs
Post by: Carl Wagner on January 12, 2014, 09:59:27 PM

I was unaware that there were three different sizes of the 1880 patent wrench. I bought the middle size recently thinking it was the large size and would be  a touch better than the one I had. Nice surprise when I found out it was a different size than both my other two.

Cool tools, Carl, I never saw them before. Interesting that the layout of the patent date is different on each.

Carl - Searching thru past Wrenching News Auctions I found these had sold: 5.5", 10.25", 11", 12", 14" and 15". What size are yours?

Bus....mine are 11", 12" and 15". The large one does not have the correct handle but I'm sure it would still be the 15" version.
