Well- It is old and crusty! Looks like a wedge adjust or key lock adjustable, but his imagination has gone round the bend!!

No, I'm pretty simple it is a Snappy. Why don't you fellows take up a collection. When you get $89, just send it to me, care of general delivery and I'll inspect it personally.

It's not easy getting patina like that.

The little supporting extension under the sliding jaw was a nice touch.  A late 1890s H. Harvey (Augusta ME ) ad reprinted on pg. 7 of the Dec. 1985  MVWC newsletter shows a curved handle like that on their wedge adjust wrench for railroad & quarry work, but not the extra supporting lip on the sliding jaw.  Take a look at the jaw shapes of the wrench in S#501.  The sliding jaw on that one did not have that extra extension either.
