Might be able to double your money on that one without too much effort ;-)

[Papaw]

I'd offer double in a heartbeat.

[northkid]

How about double double?? LOL

 At least its easy to store. Too bad you coudn,t make that say Flying Merkel instead of Indian

It's an old bicycle (and the word "wheel" might be slipped in there — I simply don't recall) wrench.  I own I think three, and one is with my 4 1/4" grinder to slip in under a wire "cup-wheel" (my term) for removal. Much more elegant than the stamped, flat, un-marked wrenches I would've at one time reached for.

I saw a 7" auto type adjustable wrench with the word "Indian" in script on the handle.
$82.00
Now, I look at all of them, just hoping.

Northwoods,  if that one had the M with no circle, it was made by Manzel Bros. Co. of Buffalo, N.Y.
Manzel also made the same style with the Indian logo without the M cast in the wrench.

the same style wrench was made by the Moore Drop Forge Co. in Springfield, Mass. with a heavy
M in a circle.
they also made the Indian wrench without the M in the casting.

this is the same style made for Ford Motor Co. supposedely by Manzel.

in the early years, Moore Drop Forge made castings for George Hendee of
Hendee/Indian Co.

I have about 5 or 6 Indian adjustable wrenches, but none with the Manzel M casting logo.
they are harder to come by.

most of the other style Indian adjustables were made by the Wakefield Co. in Worcester, Mass.

if you find a chain breaker with Indian on it cheap, that is a money maker,  I have one with
Duckworth on it, but I do not know if Indian Motocycle Co. sold them.  but they did use Duckworth
chains on their Motocycles as the Duckworth Chain Co. was also in Springfield, Mass.

I live only about 14 - 17 miles from Springfield, Mass.

I've got a bicycle wrench with USA in a diamond, who made that?
Can't remember but I believe that was the only markings on it.

They also made a smaller one that was around 5 in. long.  I sold it to a guy at Flywheelers who rides an old Indian in one of those old "wall of death" rides that used to be at most carnivals when I was a kid.  I didn't know they still had those things. He was sure happy to buy it.

I still have one of the stamped ones, but they aren't as nice, IMHO.

Very Cool wish I had the Indian to go with it.
