 Jim, I have the habit of going to the 3rd volume 1st, I don't know why I do it.  Frank

Frank, I'm guessing that you go to volume 3 because you have already memorized the first two?

What was the intention or machine that made a Weber wrench a need?

  I like the old ones myself but never find ones like that.

 I assume this wrench was used on the Weber Tractor but do not have documentation to prove this.

i imagine it might be a challenge to find original documents of a pre war steam or early gas tractor that only a handful were ever made.

   But that is why I collect the odd crap myself.  To save a tiny bit of history even if the bigger bits are long turned into other stuff.
