I like their solution for the grip.  The bar in the middle prevents misshapen or crushed grips.

Hello, Heelspur. Tower & Lyon would be my guess. Regards, Lou

Hello, Check out Patent Number 48027. Tower & Lyon Boardman's Patent Combination Tool. They made a few wrenches, but I couldn't dig up anything on the one you posted, Lou

Probably a prototype or cutaway drawing. If you really want to be confused, try to figure out the wording used by Patent Lawyers!!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere on here Stan posted all the makers of the S style crescent wrenches.

I can't find the old thread that Stan listed the different makers so I guess we can start another list.

Barcalo Buffalo
Bemis & Call
Billings & Spencer
Bonney
Ellis
Fordson
Robinson
Tower & Lyon
United Shoe Machinery
Westcott Keystone

These are the one I can think of so far.
