Republic B. & S. Company
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:26:11 AM »
Being a Newbie I am just learning about wrenches.  Picked up a wrench with Republic B. & S. Co. on it.  Does this mean it is from the Republic truck company and made by Billings and Spencer?  Any insight would certainly be appreciated.  Thanks.

Welcome to Tool Talk!
A picture or two would help. B&S could certainly be Billings & Spencer. Republic, I don't recognize.

A picture would be good, as I am wondering if it might say Republic I & S, which would be Republic Iron & Steel....

What kind of wrench is it?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Here a couple of pictures.  On the back side is a large S.  Not sure if it will come through.  Thanks for your replies.
