Very curious wrench.
« on: October 12, 2013, 08:58:22 PM »
Saw a wrench in an anitque shop, was real tempted to get it.  Looked like a Model A Ford headbolt/spark plug wrench.  Open jaw on one end and tapered down to a 5/8 approx. socket on the other.   Was not stamped Ford.   On one side recessed in were the words, Cushman Co.  Champaign Illi.  Opposite was  Craftsman, identical script cast in, not stamped.  Cushman in Ill. pulls up lots of stuff, and Cushman Motors was in Lincoln, Nebraska.   So, any ideas?

What jimwrench said..

also, an interesting note I just stumbled across, the Hoseshoe collecting folks have been puzzeling out this one also, apparently Marion Tool co was making Horse shoes stamped Craftsman...
