Around here, there was a company called "Elkhart Brass".  A foundry that produced hose nozzels, hydrant wrenches, & a lot of fire fighting equipment.  Oddly enough, I found 1 of their wrenches when I lived in Florida.  I'll have to see if I can find it to see how it compares to yours.  No matter what, they're neat tools to hang on your wall.  Seems like there should be a firefighter site somewhere.  Everybody collects something.

Howdy folks, this hefty brass fire hydrant wrench just showed up and I believe it says L.A. ST. MTCE, (Los Angeles Street Maintenance ?). She's a big girl at 14 inches long and about 3-1/2 pounds. Is there a site or someone on this list with the knowledge to point me in the right direction to figure out it's maker and age?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! It's a cold , rainy day , in CNY , great day to stay in with the oven on!! Safe travels to all who are on the road , or in the air!

Friday's small estate sale buy.  The fun finds were the Perfection Nut Cracker and the Roll-a-Ruler.  Cool finds include a pristine Stanley 199 utility knife, a Stanley 58-011 Self Centering Nail Set, and Italian made poultry shears. Round it out with NOS jigsaw blades and hardware.

Nice!  What's the very long driver with the plastic handle?
