Does anyone have some info on this Armstrong No. 1B

[Bill Houghton]

No, but it's really cool.

Might the slotted holes be for wing nuts?

Plumbing valves? refrigeration? aircraft?

Seems like special valves to me

Smells like refrigeration to me!

only thing I can think of is bleeder valves on hot water radiators, spent 30+ years in the HVAC don't remember any wrenches like that.

There has been information on ths wrench in the Missouri Valley Wench Club Newsletter. It came with some kind of Armstrong machine, maybe  pipe threader? There are two different sizes known. I'm in Baraboo, WI now for the
Fall wrench club meeting now and can't look it up. Maybe if Stan hasn't left yet he can?

It is the combination wrench to accompany an ARMSTRONG 3-bar boring tool (lathe face plate work).
I have a 1930 hardware catalog listing all ready to show here if I could only get "paste" to work.
After rereading "how to post images" and with prompting from papaw (plus a day's breather doing "big box" cashier work), here's another try:
