Post by: HeelSpur on August 08, 2015, 08:04:51 AM

Haven't located this in my searches only came up with a 66/99 & 76.

Its 10 1/4" long by 1 1/4"x5/8"x1/2".

Sheldon Axle Co.  Wilkes-Barre, PA

in P.T.Rathbone's book; " the history of old time Farm Implement Companies and the WRENCHES they issued."

there is listed more than 6 types.

78's were listed as being sold at auctions for prices ranging from $5.oo  to $40.oo

* this book should be on everyones shelf/desk that has any interest in implement wrenches.
