DATAMP search shows yours as patent # 1,225,231 granted on May 8, 1917
to Emanuel Fenstermaker, Lancaster, PA

listed as; "Screw Cap Wrench"

also states; not known to have been produced.

let Stan know that you have one.

I found that patent and figured it was right.

Pretty cool to find such an old tool that was "Not known to have been produced."!
