Title: Today's Find 26APR13
Post by: Wrenchmensch on April 26, 2013, 01:11:59 PM

I was in my favorite Friday location, and I found the two following treasures: a 4-inch Whitman & Barnes Hercules wrench, and a pre-patented 9-inch Gellman wrench. The boss lettering is different and the backside boss says Patents Pending.  I found both wrenches on the same tarp; each was $2, well within this crusty retiree's reach. I didn't clean them, but I may add pictures of them once they are cleaned up.

Isn't the W&B wrench the same as the one that 1930 and Scottg are planning a lavish restoration for in 'One for Scottg to restore'?

A longer version, yes.
