Armstrong had one marked Buda- http://www.ebay.com/itm/ca1927-Armstrong-Vanadium-7-8-x-15-16-Offset-WRENCH-marked-BUDA-D-E-40137-/231601056734?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ec7fabde (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ca1927-Armstrong-Vanadium-7-8-x-15-16-Offset-WRENCH-marked-BUDA-D-E-40137-/231601056734?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ec7fabde)

Are you sure it is Buda and not Budd? Budd was big wheels and wrenches to fit.

Probably The Buda Manufacturing co. All I found was a PDF of a 1907 catalog. Railway and track equipment.

that wrench on eb has DE on it

on eb, there is a slew of manuals for Buda engines,  onE is for THE 1941 gas & diesal engines
and they show a parts listing.   many parts numbers start with DE

well, I switched to using my computer instead of photo bucket. SO, now I have to relearn pictures. My wrench does say BUDA on other side says CE542

Just a guess , but I think that could be to remove covers over the valves , in the cylinder head.
Might also be for water pump packing nut.
