Title: Old 2155 marked wrench
Post by: moparthug on April 08, 2025, 11:41:11 AM

Trying to track down some info on this wrench. It's marked with the number 2155, what looks like a Crusader cross, and an odd "v" logo. There is one for sale on eBay claiming it's made by the Champion mower and reaper Co, but I can't verify that. One listing says it's a fire plug wrench, but most are just listed as "Old tractor wrench". Any ideas?

Champion was a brand, not a company. I pissed a few people off when I questioned that, but then they tried to find proof of a Champion company and found I was right. Champion mowers and reapers were farmed out to several different companies for manufacturing. Whiteley was the first company to make them and also the patentee.
